He says to us other than what is meant

يقول لنا غير ما يضرب

1. He says to us other than what is meant
And what is meant is other than what we think

١. يَقولُ لَنا غَيرَ ما يُضرَبُ
وَيُضرَبُ غَيرَ الَّذي نَحسُبُ

2. Like two pouches writing something different
From what the speaker says and the writer writes

٢. كَكيسانَ يَكتُبُ غَيرَ الَّذي
يَقولُ المُحَدِّثُ وَالمُكتِبُ

3. So he writes not what was said
And reads not what was written

٣. فَيَكتُبُ غَيرَ الَّذي قالَهُ
وَيَقرَأُ غَيرَ الَّذي يُكتَبُ

4. So if you want to confuse us, be silent
For if told "no" we won't be confused

٤. فَصَمتاً إِذا شِئتَ إِطرابَنا
فَنَحنُ إِذا قُلتَ لا نَطرَبُ

5. And don't come to me when coming
For when you come to me I'll go

٥. وَلا تَأتِيَنّي إِذا جِئتَني
فَإِنّي إِذا جِئتَني أَذهُبُ
