عُمْرُكُم رُحْتُم مَتْحَف وِشُفْتُم حاجَة ما فَهَمْتوهاش؟ çumrukum ruḥtum matḥaf wi ŝuftum ḥaaga mafahamtuuhaaŝ xaalis? Did you ever go to a museum to see something you did not understand (it) at all?              شُفْتُم لوحَة أوْ نَحْت وِوَقَفْتُم قُدّامْها بِالسّاعات؟ ŝuftum looḥa 'aw naḥt wi wa'aftu uddamha bis saçaat? Did you see a painting or sculpture and stand in front of it by the hours? عُمْرُكُم سَألْتُم: إيِه دا! اِلْفَنّان كان بِيْفَكَر في إيه؟ çumrukum sa'altum: eh da! Il fannaan kaan biyfakar fi eh? Did you ever ask: what is this! What was the artist thinking about? في أغْلب اِلْوَقْت اِلْفَنّان بِيْقولْ: مِش مُهِمّْ بافَكَر في إيه،  اِلْمُهِمّ إنْتَ شايِف إيه fi  aġlab el wa't il fannaan biy'uul: miŝ muhim ana bafakar fi eh il muhim inta ŝaayif eh. A lot of time the artist says: It is not important what I am thinking about what is important is what are you seeing. بَس غالِباً إحْنا مِش بِنْشوف أو مِش بِنِفْهَم اِلْفَنّان Bas ġaliban ihna miŝ binŝuuf 'aw miŝ binifham il fannaan. But frequently we do not see or we do not understand the artist. ساعات اِلْفَنّ ما لوش أيْ مَعْنىَ خالِص لَكِن فيه حاجَة فيه مِش بِتْخَلّينا نِنْساه Saçaat il fan maluuŝ 'ay maçna xaalis lakin fiih ḥaaga fiih miŝ bitxalliina ninsaah. Sometimes the art does not have any meaning but there is something in it that does not allow us to forget it. وِساعات اِلْفَنّ لُه مَعْنىَ لَكِن مِش بِنِفْتِكْرُه. Wi Saçaat il fan luh maçna lakin miŝ biniftikuruh. And sometimes art has a meaning but we do not remember it. لَوْ شـُفْتْ وِدْنْ مـَعـْمولـَةْ مِنْ شـَمـْعْ حـَتـِفـْتـِكـِرْها وَلاّ مـِشْ حـَتـِفـْتـِكـِرْها Law ŝuft widn maçmuula min ŝamç ḥatiftikirha walla miŝ ḥatiftikirha? If you saw an ear made of wax will you remember it or will you not remember it. حَسَب ... ḥasaab... It depends... لَو اِلْوِدْن دي لِها مَعْنىَ في حَياتَك مُمْكِن ما تِنْساهاش. Law il widn di liha maçna fi ḥayaatak mumkin matinsahaaŝ. If this ear has a meaning in your life maybe you will not forget it.
