يا حُسنَها مِن بركَةٍ يَحلو بِها
صَبُّ الزّلالِ لِناظِرٍ وَلِذائقِ
O, what a blessing is her beauty, sweetened by it
Is the pouring of the limpid water to the onlooker and the taster
قَد رُصِّنت بِيَد الوَزيرِ أَخي النّدى
صِدْقاً سُليَمان الزّمان الصّادقِ
She was crafted by the hand of the minister, my brother Nadaa
In truth, Suleiman of time, the truthful
فَاِنظُر إِلَيها إِذ بدا أرِّخْ بها
ماءٌ صَفا مثل الزّلالِ الرائِقِ
So look upon it as it begins, date it
Water pure like the limpid, refreshing water
