مخايلٌ قد بدت عليه

مخايل الحسن والكمال

A vision it was that appeared

Of perfect beauty and grace

تريك باباته فنوناً

تروق في الظرف والجمال

Its doors showed exquisite arts

Of elegance and taste

فقد غدا وصله يقينا

أحسن ما كان في الخيال

For its arrival brought indeed

What once was but a dream
