الْمَقَامَةُ الدِّينَارِيَّةُ

The secret of wealth is entrusted to its family,

A ti fi àṣírí ọrọ̀ lé ìdílé rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́,

Its occurrence is associated with successful endeavors,

Wíwá rẹ̀ a máa bá àṣeyọrí iṣẹ́ pọ̀,

And its brightness is beloved to all mankind.

Ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ohun àfẹ́ fún gbogbo ènìyàn.

As if its hollow is from hearts,

Bí ẹni pé àyà ènìyàn ni a gbẹ́ ihò rẹ̀ jáde,

With it, the one who possesses its purse attacks,

Pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ẹni tó ní àpò rẹ̀ a máa gbógun tì,

Even if his family perishes or slackens,

Bí ìdílé rẹ̀ tilẹ̀ parun tàbí tí wọ́n fàsẹ̀yìn,

How lovely is its gold and its freshness,

Ẹ wo bí wúrà rẹ̀ àti ìtútù rẹ̀ ti dára tó,

And how lovely is its abundance and its victory,

Ẹ wo bí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ rẹ̀ àti ìṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ ti dára tó,

many rulers have established their rule with it,

Ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn aláṣẹ ni ó ti fi ìdi ìjọba wọn mulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,

many luxurious ones, without it, would have lasting regret,

Ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn olórọ̀, láìsí rẹ̀, ìbànújẹ́ wọn ìbá pẹ́,
