1. وأرى التولع بالدخان وشربه

    عونا لكامن لوعة الاحشاء

    And I regard a passion for smoke and inhaling it

    as an aid to the burning sorrow hidden deep within.

  2. فاديم ذلك خوف اظهار الجوى

    فاشوبه بتنفس الصعداء

    So I persist in this, for fear of revealing my anguish,

    and mingle it with deep sighs.
