تَغَنَّى عَلى المِزمارِ فَاِستَلَبَ الحِجى
وَطارَت بِهِ الأَرواحُ إِذ قامَ يَصرخُ
He played the flute and stole the heart
The spirits soared when he began to cry
وَعادَت إِلى المِزمارِ قطعاً حَياتُهُ
أَما كانَ فيهِ الروح لا شَكّ ينفخُ
His life returned to the flute piece by piece
Did it not hold the breath he used to blow?
