Al-matmuus wa amalah
1 Al-charaf ma biwaafig le l-matmuus
misil al-barad fi l-seef
wa l-matar fi l-darat.
2 Al-laʼana bala sabab ma talhag.
Hi titiir misil abunfisey
wa tuduur misil sagur.
3 Al-sariime sawwooha le l-juwaad
wa l-asa le l-humaar
wa l-soot le dahar al-matmuus.
4 Ma turudd le l-matmuus hasab tamaastah
achaan ma tabga mislah.
5 Rudd le l-matmuus hasab tamaastah
achaan ma yuguul indah hikma.
6 Kan anteet risaaltak le l-matmuus
da misil gataʼt rijlak aw chiribt samm.
7 Al-masal fi khachum al-matmuus
ma indah faayde misil rijil al-aʼraj.
8 Kan tanti charaf le l-matmuus
da misil inta rabat hajar fi l-miglaaʼ.
9 Al-masal fi khachum al-matmuus
misil firiʼ hana kitir fi iid al-sakkaari.
10 Al-yiʼajjir al-matmuus
aw yiʼajjir al-ma maʼruuf al-maachi fi l-chaariʼ,
hu misil siid al-nuchchaab
al-yajrah kulla l-naas.
11 Al-matmuus yigabbil fi nifaakhah
misil al-kalib yigabbil yaakul al-gaddafah.
12 Akheer tukhutt achamak fi l-matmuus
min tukhutt achamak fi l-yahsib nafsah hakiim.
Al-kaslaan wa fikrah
13 Al-kaslaan buguul ke :
«Fiyah duud barra.
Fi ayyi chaariʼ,
raayikh duud khatari.»
14 Wa hu yichchaglab fi furaachah
misil al-baab al-yinfatih wa yinsadda.
15 Al-kaslaan yidiss iidah fi l-gadah
wa kadar yijiibha le khachmah kula gaasi leyah.
16 Wa hu yichiif nafsah hakiim
ziyaada min sabʼa naas aagliin.
Amsaal waahidiin
17 Al-yadkhul fi machaakil ma hineeyah
misil karab kalib min udneeyah.
18-19 Al-naadum al-yukhuchchak
wa yuguul : «Ana gaaʼid nalʼab maʼaak»,
hu da misil muchootin al-yazurgak
be nuchchaab musammam le yaktulak.
20 Kan ma fi hatab,
al-naar tumuut
wa kan ma fi gawwaal,
al-kalaam yumuut.
21 Katarat al-faham tiziid al-jamur
wa katarat al-hatab tiziid al-naar
wa l-gawwaal yiziid al-machaakil.
22 Kalaam al-gawwaal misil al-halaawa,
taakulah wa yanzil fi batnak.
23 Al-galb al-azrag kan kalaamah halu kula
hu misil jarr al-tiine al-mamsuuh be fudda.
24 Al-yakrah al-naas yillabbad wara kalaamah
laakin galbah malaan be l-khachch.
25 Kan kalaamah ajabaak kula,
ma tisaddigah
achaan galbah malaan
be l-fikir al-haraam.
26 Wa kan yilabbid karaahiiytah be khachch kula,
yoom waahid yinkachif giddaam kulla l-naas.
27 Al-yankut nugra yagaʼ foogha
wa l-hajar yigabbil yarhak al-yidardigah.
28 Lisaan al-kaddaab
yakrah al-zalamaahum
wa khachum al-khachchaach
yijiib al-damaar.
