1. تَحَقَّرتَ يا وَهبُ في ضَرطَةٍ

    فَأَضحَت أَحاديثُها شائِعَه

    You made yourself contemptible, O Wahb, with a fart.

    So tales of it became widespread.

  2. وَما سُمِعَت قَبلَها مِثلُها

    وَقَد راعَهُم صَوتُها رائِعَه

    And never before had its like been heard.

    And its terrifying sound had frightened them.

  3. فَقالوا وَما أَبعَدوا إِنَّهُ

    يُضَرِّطُ مِن فَقهَةٍ واسِعَه

    So they said—and were not far wrong—'Indeed, he

    farts from a wide anus.'
