1. I have enjoyed songs and avoided flutes,
And helped the short monastery's devil,

2. And who would abandon pleasures except a procrastinator,
Or leave them except a man who became unlucky.

3. How often the Christians magnified them yet I did not stop
Wedding pleasures to them as a wedding,

4. I begin with the tapping of copper and bells after it,
When they ring at prayer the bells.

5. And if the Christians magnify their cross in it,
And the bell is stirred or Jesus is worshipped,

6. I am alarmed to the religion of Prophet Muhammad,
And sanctified in it the Lord of Ahmed as sacred.
