1. يا حُسنَ عَينٍ مِن زلالٍ ماؤُها

    مِنها حَلا لِلوارِدينَ الشُّربُ

    How lovely a spring whose water is limpid!

    Drinking from it is sweet to those who come for water.

  2. وَبِعَينِ عافوصٍ تَسَمَّت وَاِغتَدى

    فيها لِبانيها يُسَرُّ القلبُ

    And it was named the Spring of ʿĀfūṣ, and became

    a joy to its builder’s heart.

  3. يَجزيهِ رَبّي مِنَّةً خَيرَ الجزا

    وَيَنالُهُ مِنهُ الرّضا وَالقربُ

    May my Lord graciously grant him the finest reward,

    and may His favor and nearness reach him.

  4. هَذي وَقَد حَفَّت بِتاريخٍ سَما

    عينٌ بِها ماءٌ مَعينٌ عذبُ

    This, already encircled by a lofty chronogram,

    is a spring with sweet, flowing water.
