1. سِواكَ الحَبيبِ هَنيئاً مَريئاً

    فَأَنتَ شَرِبتَ رضابَ اللّهاةِ

    O tooth-stick of the beloved, may your drink be pleasant and wholesome!

    For you have drunk the saliva of the uvula.

  2. فَطِرْ بِالسّرورِ وَعُدْ مورقاً يا

    سِواك لِشُرْبِكَ ماءَ الحَياةِ

    So fly with joy and grow leafy again, O

    tooth-stick, because you drank the water of life.
