Drink of water that is pure when drawn,
Drink the water that flows pure through roses,
A cure for burning thirst—nay, a cure for the ailing.
Curing the sick, no, curing the ill.

And say, when you quench your thirst, marking the date:
And say, when your echo is heard recounting,
Salih built the finest drinking fountain for the people.
"Saleh built a good path for people."
