1. For Abu Mu'arridh when he tasted
A cup of wine upon the pulpit -

2. A skillful orator, Abu Mu'arridh!
If he found no joy in wine, he would not have waited.

3. Abu Mu'arridh made the unlawful lawful,
And so became a debauchee and trouble-causer.

4. He respects base men and insults the noble;
And if they fall short of him, he does not fall short.
