سُليمان الزّمانِ جُزيتَ خَيرا

وفي حُللِ القَبولِ مِنَ الرّضاءِ

O Solomon of the age, you have been rewarded well,

And with the garments of acceptance from consent.

بَنيتَ لِوَجهِ رَبّكَ سَلسَبيلاً

وَقَد أَجرَيتَ فيه خَيرَ ماءِ

You have built for the sake of your Lord’s face a smooth road,

And you have made the best water run through it.

فَكَم أَحيا فُؤاداً ثُمّ روحاً

وَجِسماً كادَ يَدنو من فناءِ

So how many a heart, then a soul, have you revived,

And a body that was near to perishing.

وَحَلَّ رُواؤهُ أَرِّخ بِنَفسٍ

جَزاكَ اللَّهُ في خَيرِ الجَزاءِ

And its plentiful drink has restored a soul,

May God reward you with the best reward.
