إِنّ ذا السّلسبيلَ خَيرٌ عظيمٌ

ماؤُهُ خِيلَ كَالزُّلال وريئا

Indeed this aqueduct is greatly good

Its water is horses, flowing smooth

فَسُليمانُ الوقت حقّاً بَناهُ

فَهَنيئاً لِمَن بَناهُ هَنيئا

So Solomon rightly built it in his time

Happy is he who built it, happily

فَهَلموا أَرّخت نَحوَ رَحيقٍ

بِيَدٍ وَاِشرَبوا هَنيئاً مَريئا

Come let us go to a fragrant meadow

With a hand to drink, happily clearly
