قِف بِالسَبيلِ الطَيِّب

العَذبِ الفُراتِ الصيِّبِ

Stand by the good, sweet Euphrates

And a spring as if it were

وَمَورِدٍ كَأَنَّهُ

رُضابُ ثَغر أَشنَبِ

The rubbing of a mouth with gap-teeth

Or the nature of the Pasha

أَو خُلُقُ البايِ الَّذي

أَجراهُ في ذا المَرقَبِ

Who led it to this reservoir

Muhammad the good, he who

مُحَمَّد الطَيِّبِ مَن

فازَ بِهَذا المَطلَبِ

Won this request

And led it to a people

وَساقَهُ لِمَعشَرٍ

يَشكونَ حَرَّ اللَهَبِ

Who complain of the burning heat

So the harbors became with it

فَصارَت المَرسى بِهِ

مُختالَةً مِن طَرَبِ

Swaying from enchantment

So may God reward his effort

فَاللَهُ يَجزي سَعيَهُ

هُنا وَفي المُنقَلَبِ

And remain in happiness

And leadership like a star

وَدامَ في سَعادَةٍ

وَقّادَةٍ كالكَوكَبِ

As long as it is said in his history

Congratulations with the most delicious drink

ما قيلَ في تاريخِهِ

يَهنِ بِشِربٍ أَطيَبِ
