إِذَا نَحْنُ قُلْنَا أَسْمِعِينَا انْبَرَتْ لَنَا
عَلَى رِسْلِهَا مَطْرُوقَةً لَمْ تُشَدَّدِ
Meaning: Whenever we ask her to sing or let us hear something, she responds calmly, performing in an easy, unforced manner rather than straining the voice.
Asmiʿīnā is an imperative addressed to the singer; inbarat lanā describes her response. ʿAlā rislihā expresses ease and measured pace, while maṭrūqatan lam tushaddad portrays softness and lack of strained force. The verse emphasizes how the performance sounds and unfolds, not merely its existence.
