يا حُسنَ هَذا السّلسبيل أَلا اِنْقُلَنْ

عَن مائِهِ خَبرَ الشّفاءِ وسلسِلِ

O beauty of this flowing stream, convey

News of its healing water and cascade,

قَد شادَهُ شَمسُ الوزارَةِ وَالعَلى

فَرداً سُلَيمان الزّمان المُعتلي

Built by the sun of ministry and glory

As a unique mark of Suleiman's reign,

أَبصِرْ مَحاسِنَهُ وَحِكمَةَ صُنعِهِ

وَاُنظُر رَصينَ بِنائِهِ وتأمّلِ

See its elegance and the wisdom of its making,

Observe the firmness of its structure and ponder,

أَرّختهُ وَبِمائِهِ مِن حُسنِهِ

أَمسى يُصفِّق بِالرّحيقِ السّلسلِ

I recorded it, and with its water, in its beauty,

It now murmurs with sweet nectar in the stream.
