ينافر إِيقاعُه صَوْتَهُ

فهذا يزيد وذا ينقصُ

His rhythm jars his voice

So this one adds and that one subtracts

ويتبعه زامرٌ مثلُهُ

تَليعٌ له نَفَسٌ أَوْقَصُ

And a piper like him follows

A polished one whose breath is concise

فإِنْ قام ما بيننا راقِصاً

فكُلٌّ إِلى بيته يَرْقُصُ

So if one arises to dance between us

Each returns home dancing
