Tell the jurist why he remains confused

قل للفقيه علام تمسي حائرا

1. Tell the jurist why he remains confused
About the legality of tobacco and its smoke

١. قُل لِلفقيه علامَ تُمسي حائراً
في الحاءِ من حلّ الدخانِ وحرمَتِه

2. It is but a scent; he who smells it
Grows accustomed, like musk's perfume which makes one drunk

٢. ما هو إلّا نفحة مَن شمّها
أَربى على المسكِ السحيق ونَفحتِه

3. But call it a whiff, just to avoid
The jurist who forbids it, and his spurious logic

٣. لَكن دعَوهُ بنفَّةٍ لتجنّبٍ
من حائكم يا ذا الفقيه وَشُبهَتِه
