1. تُعَيرنا بالنخل والنخلُ مالُنا

    وودّ أبوك الكلبُ لو كان ذا نخْلِ

    You taunt us for our date palms, yet date palms are our wealth.

    And your father, that dog, wished he had date palms.

  2. وأي نبيٍّ كان من غير قرية

    وهل كان حكُم الله إلاّ مع الرسْلِ

    And what prophet was ever from anywhere but a town?

    And was God's judgment ever with anyone but the messengers?
