يا مطرباً قد أثار الوجدَ في كبدي

لما تحدَّث عن إحسانهِ العودُ

O singer who has stirred passion in my heart

When the lute spoke of his kindness

إذا شدوتَ بأشياخٍ ذوي هَرَمٍ

نادى الشبابُ لقد عاودتكم عودوا

If you sing of elders full of wisdom

The youth called out, "You have returned to us, return!"

دعاك اهلك ابراهيم ما كذبوا

وان تجلى بهذا الشَدو داءُود

Your family called you Ibrahim, they did not lie

And David's affliction was revealed in this singing
