1. أَعْجِبْ بمن إن حلَّ في بيتٍ له

    فلأنفِهِ في الدار بَيْتٌ ثانِ

    Marvel at the man who, if he settles in his own house,

    has a second room in the dwelling for his nose.

  2. وتكَادُ تُخْفِيهِ ضخامةُ أنفهِ

    فكأنَّه أنفٌ بلا إِنسانِ

    And the sheer size of his nose almost conceals him,

    so he seems a nose without a man.
