   • 2009–2010, “رحيل الصديق الوحيد”, in One Piece (Arabic dub), season 2, episode 86, spoken by Dr. Hiriluk (Hiriruku) (Khaldūn Qārūṭ), Damascus, Syria:

     أَجِبْنِي، أَتَعْرِفُ مَتَى يَمُوتُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ هَلْ يَمُوتُ عِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلُ رَصَاصَةٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ؟ لَا! هَلْ يَمُوتُ بِسَبَبِ مَرَضٍ قَاتِلٍ؟ لَا! هَلْ يَمُوتُ إِنْ دَخَلَ ٱلسُّمُّ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ؟ لَا أَبَدًا! يَمُوتُ... عِنْدَمَا يَنْسَاهُ ٱلنَّاسُ...

     ʔajibnī, ʔataʕrifu matā yamūtu l-ʔinsānu? hal yamūtu ʕindamā tadḵulu raṣāṣatun fī qalbihi? lā! hal yamūtu bisababi maraḍin qātilin? lā! hal yamūtu ʔin daḵala s-summu ʔilā jasadihi? lā ʔabadan! yamūtu... ʕindamā yansāhu n-nāsu...

     Tell me. When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! ...It's when they are forgotten.
