1. I swallowed a rifle one day
Green in color it was
١. بلعت يوم بندقه
في لونها خضره
2. I saw the white of my eyes
Turn red over it
٢. رأيت بياض عيني
قد صارت عليه حمره
3. And I became a passerby and out
Of our house I know not
٣. وصرت عابر وخارج
بيتنا ما أدره
4. And I unsettle nothing
Neither outside nor inside
٤. وأنا ما أقشع شي
لا برّه ولا جوّه
