1. قَدْ صَحَّ إجْماعُ جَميعِ الوَرَى

    بِأنَّ ذَا سِحْرٌ وسُكْرٌ حَلالْ

    The consensus of all humankind is indeed established:

    That this is magic and intoxication, both lawful.

  2. فَخَصّص الإجْمَاع ما عَمَّ مِنْ

    مَسالِكِ التخريجِ في ذَا السُّؤالْ

    Thus consensus has qualified the general ruling derived from

    The methods of legal inference concerning this question.

  3. فاسْكَرْ بلا جُرْمٍ وكُنْ ساحِراً

    مِنْ غَيْرِ إثْمٍ مِنْ عَظيم الجَلالْ

    So become intoxicated without guilt, and be a magician,

    Without sin before the One of great majesty.

  4. أَنْتَ أبو عُذْرَةِ ما صُغْتَهُ

    يَا أيُّها البُرْهانُ في ذا المقَالْ

    You are the originator of what you have fashioned,

    O Burhan, in this discourse.

  5. ما حَرَّرَتْ كَفُّ امْرِىءٍ مِثْلَهُ

    في سالِفِ الدَّهْرِ عَلَى كُلِّ حالْ

    No person's hand has written its equal

    In ages past, under any circumstances.
