1. Do not blame Abu Ghanim's wedding
In its soft mud, in its clay oven

2. God is witness, it has truly become
To the people's noses, miserable

3. Because Abu Ghanim's mice
Are stuck in honey, enjoying it

4. I tried in vain to move them
With perfume and decoration

5. If there is a stench from it
It is not from what stinks

6. But the lust of mice from its foundation
That is set in the mud
