الْمَقَامَةُ السَّاوِيَّةُ

Whenever his trick completes?

Nígbà kú gba tí ète rẹ bá yanjú?

I said to him: Away from you, you elder of Hell!

Mo sọ fún un pé: Jìnnà réré sí mi, ìwọ bàbá iná

And companion of shame

Àti èèyàn abawon

There is none like you in the sweetness of your appearance.

Kò sí ẹlòmíràn tí ó dára bí irú rẹ nínú dídára gbangba rẹ.

And the wickedness of your intention.

Àti aburú èròngbà rẹ.

Except like a silvered dung.

Ayafi bi igbẹ fadaka.

Or a whitened toilet.

Tàbí ile-igbọnsẹ funfun kan.

Then we parted ways, and I went to the right.

Lẹ́yìn yí a fi ara wa sílẹ, mo lọ sí ọ̀tún.

And he went to the left.

Ó sì lọ sí òsì

I faced the southern direction.

Mo dojú kọ ìhà gúúsù.
