يا حسنَ هَذا السّلسَبيل إِنَّهُ

خَيريّةٌ لِربّنا خالِصة

O beauty, this aqueduct

Is a charity dedicated purely to our Lord

لَهُ سُليمان الزّمان قَد بنى

وحبّذا البنايَةُ الفاخِرةُ

Suleiman of the age built it

And excellent is this splendid edifice

في جَنّةِ الفِردَوسِ مِن دارِ البَقا

تبنى له منزلةٌ عاليةُ

In the garden of Paradise, the abode of eternity

A lofty dwelling is built for him

وَإِنّه وَماؤُه أَرّختهُ

بطيِّبٍ صدقةٌ جاريةُ

Its water, dated by goodness

Is an ever-flowing alms
