الْمَقَامَةُ الدِّينَارِيَّةُ

So I pulled out another dinar,

Nítorí náà mo yọ dínárì mìíràn jáde,

And said to him: Would you like to dispraise it,

Mo sì sọ fún un pé: Ṣé o fẹ́ bú u,

Then embrace it?

Kí o sì tún gbà á?

So he recited impromptu, and sang quickly:

Nítorí náà ó sọ lójijì, ó sì kọrin kíákíá:

Woe to it, a deceiver and a hypocrite,

Ègbé ni fún un, aṣẹ̀tàn àti àgàbàgebè,

Yellow with two faces like the hypocrite,

O pọ́ń pẹ̀lú ojú méjì bí àgàbàgebè,

Appearing with two descriptions to the observer's eye,

Ó ń farahàn pẹ̀lú àpèjúwe méjì sí ojú olùwòran,

The adornment of the beloved and the color of the lover,

Ọ̀ṣọ́ olùfẹ́ àti àwọ̀ ẹni tí ń fẹ́ràn,

And its love, to those of truth,

Ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, fún àwọn tó mọ òtítọ́,

Calls to commit the wrath of the Creator.

Ń pèpe láti ṣe ohun tí yóò bà ibinu Ẹlẹ́dàá.
