What does one do if the iqamah is called while he is praying a voluntary prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I entered into the Fajr prayer with two rak'ahs, the Fajr before the obligatory Fajr prayer, then the prayer was established and I had prayed one rak'ah. Do I have the option to complete it, or do I enter into the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
No, no—do not cut it off. If you have prayed one rak'ah and the prayer is established, you cut it off. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.إذا أُقيمت الصلاةُ فلا صلاةَ إلا المكتوبة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam)
He prays it after that.
