1. أَتَتكَ أُمُّ الحَسَن

    تَشدو بِصَوت حَسنِ

    Umm al-Hasan has come to you,

    singing with a lovely voice.

  2. تَمُدُّ في أَلحانِها

    مَدَّ الغناءِ المَدَني

    She draws out her melodies

    in the manner of Medinan song.

  3. تَقومنّي سَلسلا

    كَأَنَّني في رسنِ

    She guides me, pliant,

    as though I were in a halter.

  4. أَوراقُها أَستارُها

    إِذا شدت في فَنَنِ

    Her leaves are her curtains

    when she sings upon a bough.
