Here is my creed, and this is my motto.
This is my way, this is my motto
And it has long been a motto for people.
It has for long been people's motto
لمnot أحاسَبI am held to account وكانand there was فيin البيتthe house قطa cat

كيفhow أرضىI am content وليسand there is no فيin البيتthe house فارa mouse
كيف أرضى وليس في البيت فار
I was not held to account, and there was a cat in the house.
Never have I settled accounts at home
How can I be content when there is no mouse in the house?
How can I be pleased when there's no cheese in the house?
