1. O Lord, accept not the prayers of a people
Whose leader to prayer is the convent donkey of Al-Numayri
١. أَيا رَبَّ لا تَقبَل صَلاةَ مَعاشِرٍ
يَأُمُّهُمُ دَيرُ النُمَيرِيِّ رُكَّعا
2. Who came forward one day to lead them in prayer, so I found him
A donkey ahead of the group, walking faster and faster
٢. تَقَدَّمَ يَوماً لِلصَلاةِ فَخِلتُهُ
حِماراً أَمامَ الرَكبِ سارَ فَأَسرَعا
