1. نال فَمِي من ذلِك الريمِ

    مِثْلَ اسمِه لكنْ بترخيم

    My mouth gained from that gazelle

    the likeness of his name, but with its ending clipped:

  2. له فم ضاقَ فلم يَسْتَطِعْ

    أَن يُخرِجَ اللَّفْظَ بتقويم

    He has a mouth so narrow it could not

    bring forth speech with proper articulation.

  3. له فم للترك يعزي وإن

    أصبح مولاه من الروم

    He has a mouth accounted Turkish, though

    its owner is one of the Rūm.

  4. ولفظُه سكرانُ من رِيقه

    فهْو لهذا غيرُ مفهوم

    His speech is drunk on his saliva,

    and for that reason it is unintelligible.

  5. ما فمه ميمٌ ولكنَّه

    علامةُ الجَزْمِ على الميم

    His mouth is not a mīm; it is, rather,

    the jussive mark above the mīm.
