فلكٌ بِأَرض الأَزبكية قَد بَدا

يَزهو بِبنيان رَفيع مَنارِ

A dome in the land of Al-Azbakiya has appeared

Rising with a lofty minaret

وَغَدا يُفاخر غَيره بِرَصانة

وَبَديع إِتقان وَحُسن جِدار

And it began to boast to others with its stateliness

And the excellence of its construction and beauty of its wall

وَالمَجد لَما تَم قال مؤرخاً

لمتاتيا بِالسَعد أَزكى دار

And when it was completed, the chronicler said

For Mettias in good fortune the most blessed abode
