مِن مالِ يوحنّا اِبن جَمَّالٍ جَرى

هَذا السَبيلُ فَصَحَّ فيهِ ثَوابُهُ

With wealth of John son of Jammal this way flowed

So in it his reward was ensured

فَغَدا لاحداقِ النَواظِرِ بِهجةً

أَرِّخ وِللظامين راقَ شَرابُهُ

It became for gazes' pupils a delight

Date it - and for the thirsty fine is its drink
