His pipe stems stretch out before him;
Its chimneys stand tall before it
Their smoke rises above the lofty clouds.
Its smoke rises above the high clouds

قَد خِلتُها مِثلَ الرِّماحِ وَإِنّها

في الهمِّ تَطعنُ وَالدّخانُ سِنانُها
I thought them like spears—and indeed,
I see them like spears though they
They stab at sorrow, and smoke is their spearhead.
Stab worries while the smoke shows their teeth
