نادمِ العزَّ الكراما

وخذِ اللهوَ اصطلاما

Reprove the honorable, the generous

Carouse with the glorious and noble,

And take pleasure, make it a habit

And take pleasure with total abandon.

لا تفيدنّ صلاةً

لا ولا تبغ صياما

Do not perform prayers

Do not seek benefit in prayer,

Or fast at all

Nor desire to fast.

وإذا بصرتَ في المُصحفِ زجراً فتعامى

And if you see prohibition in the Quran, turn a blind eye

And if you see a rebuke in the Scripture, feign blindness.

Follow the waxing moon and gain

ويكسبِ القمرِ فاتبع

لنداماكَ المُداما

Continuously intoxicated

And win the moon-faced beauty, then follow up,

Serve him who does not rebuke you or blame

For your boon companions with wine.

واسقهِ منَ لا ينافيهِ عتاباً أو مَلاما

Do not take the unlawful

And serve it to one who opposes it with neither reproach nor blame.

Ever, only the unlawful

لا تصرّف في حرام

أبداً إلّا حراما

And be certain that God's pardon

Do not deal in forbidden matters,

Will meet the sinner who gained sins

Ever, except through forbidden means.

وتيقّن أنّ عفو ال

لَهِ لاقٍ ذا الأناما

Does pardon come except

And be certain that the pardon of,

To a sinner who gained sins

God shall encounter all mankind.

هل ينالُ العفوُ إلّا

مذنبٌ نالَ الأثاما

For is forgiveness obtained by any but,

A sinner who has committed sins?
