1. We came to Mimoon seeking a favor
But we were met with tight-fistedness, no generosity at bestowed

2. And the miser may feign refusal as politeness
Hoping to be pressed to give against his will

3. "Excuse me," he said, "for stinginess is my nature
And my hands are created, formed for locking up."

4. A stingy nature confirmed by a creation
I've formed myself, fearing my own kind of need

5. So he offered us an excuse we cannot refute
Casting the plea of meanness and stinginess
