إِنَّ الوَزيرَ أَخا النّدى
للَّهِ قَد مَنَّ عَلينا
Indeed, the vizier, brother of bounty,
Has, for God's sake, bestowed favor upon us.
فَبَنى لَنا حَوضاً بِهِ
ماءٌ يقرُّ العينا
So he built us a basin, within which
Is water that gladdens the eye.
ما الماءُ إِلّا فِضّةٌ
أَضحَت تَسيلُ إِلَينا
The water is nothing but silver
That has begun to flow toward us.
أَلِذا وَأَرّخ جاحِد
وغَداً يَسيلُ لجينا
Is it for this? And a denier recorded the date:
And tomorrow it will flow as silver.
