1. يا حُسنَ ذا سَلسَبيلٌ زَها

    وَماؤُهُ أَحلى مِنَ السّكَّرِ

    O beauty with soft flowing hair

    Whose water is sweeter than sugar

  2. حَيثُ الوَزيرُ الشّهم رَبّ النّدى

    بَناهُ بِالغالي مِنَ المَرمَرِ

    Where the brave minister, master of generosity

    Built it with great expense of marble

  3. وَاللَّهُ يَجزيهِ بِحُسنِ الجزا

    بِذلكَ الخَيرِ لَدى المَحشَرِ

    And God will reward him with good reward

    For that good, on the day of gathering

  4. فَهوَ لَنا أَرّخته واصلٌ

    وَاللّه يَسقيهِ مِنَ الكَوثَرِ

    So it is for us a sheltering pillar

    And God will give him drink from the Abundance
