You're late for work!

I found this cartoon online and the language they use isn't very difficult, but maybe reading the handwriting might be a little tough if you're only used to reading text on the computer. Here's what it says and the translation.

قم و أنا أمك ... تأخرت على صلاة الفجر - (Qum wa ana umak... ta2akharta 3ala salaat al fajr) - Get up (و أنا أمك is literally "and I'm your mom"). You're late for the dawn prayer!

زين زين (zayn zayn)- ok, ok

قم و أنا أمك ... تأخرت على دوامك (Qum wa ana umak... ta2akharta 3ala dawwaamak)- Get up! You're late for work! (دوام is literally the work day or work hours)

حرام عليكم يمه... ليش تخلوني اتأخر - (Haram 3alaykum yamma... laysh takhlooni ata2akhar) - ("Haram 3alaykum" is like "curse you") Curse you, mom! Why did you let me be late?!
