رَبِّ اِجْزِ بِالخيرِ سُليمانَنا

فَذاكَ عينُ الوزراءِ الكِرامْ

O Lord, reward our Solomon with goodness,

For he is the eye of the honourable ministers.

للَّهِ شادَ سَلسبيلاً لَنا

بِمائِهِ العَذبِ شِفاءُ السّقامْ

He built for us an easy path,

With its sweet water a cure for the sick.

وَكَم بَنى حَوضاً لَنا مِثلَهُ

أَحَلَّهُ اللَّهُ بِدارِ السّلامْ

And how many such cisterns has he built for us,

May God allow him to reside in the Abode of Peace.

فَأَحْسِنِ اللهُمَّ ما قَد مَضى

أَرّخته بَل جُدْ بِحُسنِ الختامْ

So, O God, make good that which has passed,

I have recorded it, rather conclude with a good ending.
