1. أخرجته يا سيدي

    لا مثل إخراج الشجا

    I have brought it out, my master,

    not like removing what is lodged in the throat.

  2. أوله كقدهِ

    ثم كظهري عوجا

    Its beginning is like his stature,

    then like my back in its crookedness,

  3. ثم كَمَحْني فمه

    ثم كشدّ في الهجا

    then like the curve of his mouth,

    then like a doubling mark in spelling.

  4. فهاكه مُفَسراً

    على مواجيب الهجا

    So take it, explained,

    according to the requirements of spelling.
