الْمَقَامَةُ الدِّينَارِيَّةُ

Says to it the words of a truthful, righteous one:

Yóò sọ fún un ọ̀rọ̀ olóòótọ́, olódodo:

"I have no interest in your company, so depart."

"Èmi kò ní ìfẹ́ sí ìbágbépọ̀ rẹ, nítorí náà lọ."

So I said to him: How abundant is your downpour!

Nítorí náà mo sọ fún un pé: Ìyàlenu ní òjò rẹ to pọ̀ tó yii!

He said: And the condition is more binding.

Ó sọ pé: Àti pé àdéhùn ni ó ní agbára jù.

So I gave him the second dinar.

Nítorí náà mo fún un ní dínárì kejì.

And I said to him: Protect them with the oft-repeated verses.

Mo sì sọ fún un pé: Dáàbò bò wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹsẹ tí a máa ń tún sọ.

So he threw it in his mouth,

Nítorí náà ó jù ú sínú ẹnu rẹ̀,

And paired it with its twin.

Ó sì so ó pọ̀ mọ́ ìbejì rẹ̀.

And he turned away praising his morning,

Ó sì yí padà, ó ń yìn òwúrọ̀ rẹ̀,

And praising the assembly and its generosity.

Ó sì ń yìn àpéjọ náà àti ọ̀rọ̀ wọn.
