مَن يَستَمِعُ صَوتَ عَبدَ الحَيِّ يَلقَ لَهُ

حَلاوَةَ زانَها إِتقانِ مَعرَفَتِهِ

Whoever listens to the voice of Abdelhay finds

The sweetness adorned by his perfect knowledge.

كانَ باريهِ مُذ سِواهُ أَودَعَهُ

مِزمارُ داوودَ في تَركيبِ حُنجَرَتِهِ

Since his Lord created him, He endowed him

With David's harp in the making of his throat.
