1. هَذا المحرَّكُ بالمياهِ وإِنَّهُ

    لأَجَلُّ صُنعٍ في الورى آليِّ

    This water-driven engine—indeed, it is

    the finest mechanical creation among humankind.

  2. فانعَم ببرد المآءِ فيهِ وطيبهِ

    وَدَع اللَظى لمحرِّكٍ ناريِّ

    So enjoy the water’s coolness and sweetness within it,

    and leave the blaze to a fire-powered engine.

  3. يا أَيُّهاالمتموِّلون تقدَّموا

    لَم يَبقى غَيرُ محرِّكٍ ماليِّ

    O you people of wealth, come forward!

    Nothing remains but a financial engine.
