تَلا كِتابَ اللَهِ مِن حِفظِهِ

مَن هُو بِالكَأسِ مَليءٌ حَفي

He recited the Book of God from memory

While drunk, with a goblet filled to the brim

كَأَنَّهُ مِن سوءِ أَفعالِهِ

يُبَدِّدُ الخَمرَ عَلى المُصحَفِ

As though to spite his evil deeds

He spilled wine over the Scripture

لا تَضِفِ الشارِبَ في سُكرِهِ

وَلا تُنَزِّلهُ وَلا تُلحِفِ

Reproach not the drinker in his stupor

Degrade him not, nor heap abuse
