Darkness
While crossing the street towards the other sidewalk, she slipped because of her long burqa. Suddenly, a speeding vehicle came down that road has almost cut her into pieces.. At that time, she raised the black veil that hid her eyes, and observed the shining electric lamps, hanging from the ceiling in the shops.. Finally, she put her hand on her heart and began to insult the darkness.

ظلام
تعثرت بعباءتها وهي تعبر للجهة المقابلة.
كادت عربة مسرعة تحيلها إلى أشلاء!!
أزاحت الغلالة السوداء من عينيها..
أبصرت المصابيح المعلقة تتلألأ في أسقف المتاجر..
وضعت يدها على قلبها وهي تلعن الظلام!!
__________
A thief
The master asked some of his assistants:
" Have you counted the riches of the land?"
Someone replied, " Everything has been counted and preserved in your depositories. But Sir, hunger spread in the country!"
The master said:
"Take some crumbs, and feed my dogs".

لص
سأل السيد بعض أعوانه:
هل أحصيتم ثروات الأرض؟!
أجاب أحدهم:
كل شيء أحصيناه وحفظناه في خزائنك ، لكن الجوع
تفشى في البلاد سيدي!
قال:
خذوا القليل من الفتات وأطعموا كلابي
