أُحْدِثَ بَابُ المَسجِدِ الجَامِعِ

بِأمْرِ مَولاَنَا الرّضَا القَامِعِ

The door of the grand mosque was opened

By order of our master, the suppressor of dissent

عَلِي بَاشَا بْنُ الحُسَينِ الذي

أحْسَنَ لِلمُعْتَرِّ وَالقَانِعِ

Ali Pasha son of Al-Hussein who

Did good for the content and the needy

وَكَمْ لَهُ مِنْ خَصْلَةٍ أوجَبَتْ

ثَنَاءَهُ لِلرَّائِي وَالسَّامِعِ

And how many virtues of his necessitated

His praise by speaker and listener

جَازَاهُ ذُو الطَّولِ عَلَى فِعْلِهِ

مِنْ مَطْلَبِ المَتْبُوعِ وَالتَّابِعِ

May He of endless generosity reward him for his deed

From the wishes of the leader and the follower

وَدَامَ فِي خَيْرٍ ولَمَّا اسْتَوَى

أرَّخْتُهُ بَابُ رِضىً وَاسِعِ

And may he live on in goodness and when he rose

I dated it, a door of vast approval
