1. The lute of God, when its strings are rightly strung
For it each vein has throbbed with fervent love
١. لِلّهِ عودٌ إِذا أَوتارُهُ اِصطَفَّت
مِن أَجلِها كُل عرقٍ راحَ مصطَفِقا
2. As though above the lute were vocal chords
That, through its inner heart, would speak if touched
٢. كَأَنَّها فَوقَهُ أَوتارُ حُنجَرةٍ
فَلَو أَصابَ فَماً في جَوفِهِ نَطَقا
