1. وذي همةٍ في حضيض الكنيف

    وقرنين في فلك المشتري

    A man whose ambition lay in the depths of the privy,

    and whose two horns were in Jupiter's sphere—

  2. دخلت عليه انتصاف النهار

    على غفلة حين لم يشعر

    I went in to see him at midday,

    catching him off guard, when he was unaware.

  3. وبين يديه رغيفان مع

    سكرجة كان فيها مري

    Before him were two loaves, along with

    a small dish containing murrī sauce.

  4. فلما قعدت فسا فسوةً

    فلم تخط عصفتها منخري

    Then, when I sat down, he let out a silent fart;

    and its blast did not miss my nostril.

  5. وأقبل يضرط في إثرها

    فقلت أقوم وإلا خري

    He then began farting noisily in its wake,

    so I said, "I'll get up, or else he'll shit."
