A curse upon the tobacco hookah I grew fond of!
Alas for the water pipe whose smoke I inhaled
Made by Tahmaz, it was a snare for harm.
Made by Tahmaz, it was an evil companion

وَتَترُك الصاغ مِن صَدر الفَتى شركا
Its cough stirs up the hidden phlegm,
It stirs up hidden phlegm, its bubble
And leaves what was sound in a young man's chest ruined.
And leaves the young man's chest as a companion
