وَبَربَطانِيٍّ غَدا

مُستَحكِماً وَسواسُهُ

With an Englishman overwhelming

His obsession grows firmer.

يَرفَعُ عَينَيهِ إِلى

كُلِّ مَكانٍ راسُهُ

He raises his eyes to

Every place his head is.

فوهُ لَهُ خَريطَةً

كَمَخَتُها أَضراسُهُ

For it a map he has,

Like the teeth of his molars.

فَإشن رَمى فَإِنَّما

بُندُقُهُ أَنفاسُهُ

So if he shoots, verily

His rifle's his breath.
