وَبركَةً قَد أَفادَنا عَجَباً

ما سالَ من مائِها وَما اِنسَكَبا

A blessing it brought that amazed us

Not a drop of its water spilled or got wasted

يُجلى بِأَمواهِها الرُخامُ كَما

تُجلى سَماءٌ قَد اِكتَسَت سُحُبا

It made the marble gleam as though

A sky filled with clouds it did show

حَتّى إِذا ما الحَبابُ حَفَّ بِها

أَرَتكَ مِنها كَواكِباً شُهُبا

Till beads did around it encircle

It made you see stars that did sparkle

تَضحَكُ مِن بَطِّها إِذا رَقَصَت

فَكَيفَ مِن رايِها إِذا لَعِبا

It laughed through its basin when dancing around

Imagine its fountain when playing with sound

وَرُبَّما تَغتَدي مُدَرَّجَةَ

إِن هَزَّ أَعطافَها نَسيمُ صَبا

At times it would frolic down terraces slid

When breeze lightly sways its sides

يا حُسنَ أَمواجِها إِذا اِضَطَرَبَت

فَأَحدَثَت في نُفوسِنا طَرَبا

The beauty of waves when it starts rippling

It stirs up our souls making them tingling

وَحُسنَ شَمسِ الضُحى تَصوغُ عَلى

قَضيبِها مِن شُعاعِها ذَهَبا

The charm of dawn's sun does mold

Rays of gold on its rod

يُدرِكُها الوَردُ كُلَّما اِرتَعَدَت

مِنهُ بِجَمرٍ يَظَلُّ مُلتَهِبا

Each time it just quivers roses reach out

Still glowing embers flying about

مِن حَولِ فَوّارَةٍ مُرَكَّبَةٍ

قَدِ اِنحَنى ظَهرُ مائِها تَعَبا

Around a fountain finely wrought

Its watery arch itself has brought
