1. أنا للعود لسان

    حين تُبدْيه القيانَ

    I am a tongue for the oud

    when the songstresses bring it forth.

  2. فإذا استفهمه السم

    عُ فإني تَرْجُمان

    And when it is questioned by hear-

    ing, I am an interpreter.

  3. مالِكِي الواهبُ ما يَحْ

    ويه كيسٌ وعِنان

    My master, the giver of what is con-

    tained by a purse and reins.
