الْمَقَامَةُ السنجارية

If she played the flute, Znam would become despicable to her.

Tí ó bá fọ́ fèrè, Sunamu yóò di ẹni wọn ó kórìíra fún un.

After he was a leader to his generation.

Lẹ́yìn tí ó jẹ́ olórí fún ìran rẹ̀.

And a leader in delight.

Àti olórí nínú ayọ̀.

If she danced, she would tilt the turbans off heads.

Tí ó bá jó, yóò mú àwọn ìbòrí kúrò lórí.

And make you forget the dance of bubbles in cups.

Àti pé yóò mú kí o gbàgbé ìjó àwọn ìfóófòó nínú àwo.

So I would disdain the red camels with her.

Nítorí náà, mo máa kórìíra àwọn ràkúnmí pupa pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

And I would adorn her neck with the best of blessings.

Àti pé mo máa fi àwọn ìbùkún tó dára jù lọ ṣe ọ̀run rẹ̀.

And I would shield her sight from the sun and the moon.

Àti pé mo máa dáàbò bò ìran rẹ̀ kúrò nínú oorun àti oṣùpá.

And I would protect her memory from the tales of the night.

Àti pé mo máa dáàbò bò ìrántí rẹ̀ kúrò nínú àwọn ìtàn alẹ́.

And with that, I insist.

Àti pẹ̀lú èyí, mo ń tẹnumọ́.
