1. They said so-and-so has come to us proposing
I said which of the men is he proposing to
١. قالُوا فُلانٌ قد أتانَا خَاطِبا
قُلتُ وفي أيِّ الرجَالِ يَخطبُ
2. They said indeed he is proposing to a daughter of ours
I said leave joking aside and go away
٢. قالُوا بلَى يَخطبُ بِنتا عندَنَا
قُلتُ دعُوا المزَاحَ عنكُم واذهبُوا
