1. أتتْ من بَريدِيّنا ضَرطةٌ

    تعلَّمها من بغال البريد

    A fart came from our postal courier;

    he had learned it from the postal mules.

  2. وكان أبوه على شُقَّةٍ

    فصَكَّ بها أذنَه من بعيد

    His father was a long way off,

    yet he struck his ear with it from afar.

  3. لقد هتكتْ ما أتى دونه

    بحدٍّ حديدٍ وبأْسٍ شديد

    It surely tore through what he could not reach

    with a keen edge and mighty force.
