مدفونة في اللوز والسكر
A khabisa pudding has been served in the bowl,
A tiny one in the cup was brought
Buried in almonds and sugar.
Buried in the almonds and sugar

In eating it, one eats his five fingers,
Whoever eats it unknowingly
Palm and all, in the pudding, without noticing.
Will be smitten by its sting
