وافَى بفُقّاعٍ أَرِجْ

يُحْيِي بنَكْهَتِه المُهَجْ

With bubble pipe aroma he drew near,

His sweet scent brought joy and cheer,

شيخٌ مضتْ من عمره

في ذلك المعنى حِجَج

An old man whose years had passed,

Yet wise arguments he cast,

مَزجتْ يداه الطِّيب في

ه فكان أظرفَ من مَزَج

His hands mixed scent delightfully,

And made a mix most skillfully,

وحَشا قلوبَ سَذابه

منه بكل فمٍ حَرِج

Hearts of the young were filled with joy,

At his words no soul was coy,

فكأنه يحشو به

قطع الزُّمرّدِ في السَّبَج

As if with scent he filled up

Emerald pieces in a cup.
