      طيب، وقصيد الشيخ مليجي وإبرهيم،
      وخطبة الشيخ سكرجة والشيخ كليم،
      ليه ما طبعتوهم، ولا أخذوا فلوس،
      في أجرة الشمعة، وتصليح الفَنوس؟
      Well, and the qasida of Sheykh Malīgī and ʾIbrahīm,
      and the speech of Sheykh Hinge-Socket and the speech of Sheykh Carpet,
      why have you not printed them, and they received naught to redeem
      dedicated brooding by the candle, screwing the lamplet?
