قالَ الثّقيلُ أَراكَ تَكرَهُ رُؤيَتي

وَيَلوحُ مِنك تَباعدٌ وَتَجنّبُ

The heavy one said, "I see you despise seeing me,

And you clearly avoid me and keep your distance.

فَأَجَبتُهُ ما أَنتَ إِلّا خُنفسا

لَيسَت تَشمّ وَلَيس فيها يُلعَبُ

So I answered him, "You're just a beetle,

Neither to be smelled nor played with."
