    أهلاً وَ سَهلاً فِي بَرنَامِج: بِي وَاي إمبِرُولا! هَذَا البَرنَامِج سَوفَ يُسَاعِدُكَ عَلَ تَحوِيل النُصُوص، المَكتُوبَة بِنِظَامِ أرِيج، إلى مَلَفَّاتٍ صَوتِيَّه! كَيفَ يَعمَلُ هَذَا البَرنَامِج؟ هَذَا مَا سَوفَ تَعرِفَهُ حِينَ تَقرأُ الوَثَاءِق.
  • [Modern Standard Arabic] A part of "I give you the choice" poem by Nizar Qabani: listen . Text:
    إنِّي خَيَّرتُكِي فأختَارِي. مَا بَينَ المَوتِ عَلى صَدرِي، أو فَوقَ دَفَاتِرِ أشعَارِي. إنِّي لا أُؤمِنُ فِي حُبٍّ. لا يَحمِلُ نَزَقَ الثُوَّارِ!
