He breathed in my face, and I nearly died.

وَنَسّى حَتّى حَسِبتُ بِأَنَّني

وَرَبِّكُما يا صاحِبَيَّ خريتُ

وَرَبِّكُما يا صاحِبَيَّ خريتُ

And he farted until I thought that I—

By your Lord, my two companions—had shat.

فَإِن لَم أَكُن فَتشتُ حقّاً غُلالَتي

فَإِن لَم أَكُن فَتشتُ حقّاً غُلالَتي

لِأَغسِل عَنها سَلحها فَعميتُ

لِأَغسِل عَنها سَلحها فَعميتُ

To wash its shit off it, then may I go blind!
