بِقَلب الشّجى نارُ الغَرامِ تَلهّبَت

فَأَبدَت دُخاناً قَد عَلا مِن جِنانِهِ

With the heart burning in grief, the fire of love ignited

Emitting smoke that rose high from its burning

وَإِنّي شَرِبتُ التّبغَ قَصداً لِيَختَفي

دُخان عَلا مِن مُهجَتي بِدُخانِهِ

Though I drank tobacco intentionally to disguise

The smoke that billowed from my burning heart
