1. The sheikh's lips were so thick
They could barely be seen or discerned

2. When he walked it was as though
Mountains or villages were walking

3. His head was so enormous
It towered over the land

4. As if he and it
Were burdens that had become independent, haughty

5. He walks conceitedly, intending
To appear arrogant

6. Sluggish from its weight upon him
Slow, delayed

7. And when he wanted to speak the letter 'b'
It crossed horizons

8. The distance between them
Was the distance between sky and land
