دیوار موش داره٬ موش هم گوش داره


دیوار موش داره٬ موش هم گوش داره 
divār muš    dār-e,   muš     ham  guš dār-e
wall  mouse has-3s  mouse also  ear  has-3s
Walls have mice, and the mice have ears.
  also – /ham/– هم

Wiktionary notes that this word occurs after the phrase it modifies similar to how English too follows what it modifies.

wall – /di'vâr/ – دیوار


mouse – /muš/ – موش
Finally a cognate that's somewhat apparent.

ear – /guš/ – گوش


 to have – /dâš'tan/ – داشتن
This is a verb that does heavy duty in idioms.
