1. حَجّوا مَواليكِ يا بُرهانُ وَاِعتَمَروا

    وَقَد أَتَتكِ الهَدايا مِن مَواليكِ

    Your patrons, O Burhan, have performed the Hajj and the lesser pilgrimage.

    And gifts have come to you from your patrons.

  2. فَأَتحَفينِيَ مِمّا أَتحَفوكِ بِهِ

    وَلا تَكُن تُحفَتي غَيرَ المَساويكِ

    So give me a gift from what they have given you,

    and let my gift be nothing but tooth-cleaning sticks.

  3. وَلَستُ أَرضاهُ حَتّى تُرسِلينَ بِهِ

    مِمّا جَلا الثَغرَ أَو ما جالَ في فيكِ

    And I will not accept it until you send me one

    of those that polished your teeth or moved about in your mouth.
