Well, I'm pretty sure I have the correct consonent sounds involved but a difficulty in Arabic is that short vowel sounds are not written, they're just known by the speaker of the language. All the dots you see are indicators of a long vowel sounds, but nothing about short vowels so in trying to string the consonants together into words I am almost surely screwing up (and, like all Semitic languages, it is written from right to left; it was cool that Firefox knew this and automatically put the next letter to the left of the previous one).

I know it would make the joke less funny but "arabic numerals" are not used in Arabic (what we call Arabic numberals actually come from India and the Hindu languages) so the clock isn't presented correctly.
