1. إن البشير شهاب سعد زماننا

    أحيى الربى بسحا بكف يهتنُ

    Indeed, Bashir Shihab, the good fortune of our age,

    revived the hills with a downpour, pouring forth from his hand,

  2. وسقى البطاح من المياه جداولا

    فوَّارها بصفائه يتزينُ

    and watered the plains with streams of water.

    Their gushing fountain is adorned with its clarity.

  3. فاشرب من الماء العذيب مؤرخا

    أجرى الصفاء لنا البشير المحسنُ

    So drink of the sweet water, recording the date:

    Bashir the benefactor made purity flow for us.
