الْمَقَامَةُ الصُّورِيَّةُ

And during my stay in Egypt, I was dazzled by his brilliance.

Nígbà gbogbo tí mo wà ní Mísírì, ìmọ̀ rẹ̀ ń yọ mi lójú.

And I filled my shell with the pearls of his words.

Mo sì kún àpò mi pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ó dàbí pẹ́rílì.

Until the crow of separation cawed between us.

Títí tí ẹyẹ Kirao fi kọrin láàrín wa.

And I parted from him like the eyelid from the eye.

Mo sì fi í sílẹ̀ bí ìpènpejú ṣe máa ń fojú sílẹ.
