1. Tell the son of Sina no medicine today
Except the dirham is a doctor

2. It was before Hippocrates and before you
As an ointment for surgery

3. And people since ancient times
Have revolved around it and coveted it

4. And by its magic the fingers
Rise in the eyes and are esteemed

5. O do you see the two thousands untouched
And forbidden to be touched

6. Your prosperous bank upon them
Until the Day of Resurrection established

7. No cheque appears in the banks
Nor withdrawal order disputed

8. And most generous whom you meet
Does not greet you nor shows courtesy
