أَحسِنْ بِهذا السّلسبيلِ الّذي

في مائِهِ اللّذَّةُ للشَّارِبينْ

Drink from this sweet brook whose

Water is delight for those who drink it.

لَهُ سُليمان الزّمانِ اِبتَنى

واللَّهُ في بُنيانِهِ كانَ المُعين

It was built by Solomon in his time,

And God assisted in its construction.

يا أَهلَ عَكّاءَ هَلُمّوا اِستَقوا

وَأَكثِروا الشّربَ بِمَرِّ السنين

O people of Acre, come and drink

And enjoy much drink as the years go by.

أَيَخشى أَرَّخت نَشفٌ لَهُ

وَاللَّه يَأتيكم بِماءٍ مَعين

Should it fear drought has left it dry?

God will send water to you in steady supply.
