1. Khalid has a crooked-legged wife
Whose crookedness in the land is well known

2. He lives off her drum and her crookedness
So his house is ever prosperous

3. People blame him for having married her
If only they knew, the old man is excused

4. If not for her crookedness, he would be hungry forever
And he has lived as long as he lived, feeling harmed

5. Leave him to enjoy her crooked legs
A child's condition fills the back
