نَهى اللَهُ عَن شُربِ المُدامِ لِأَنَّها

مُحَرَّمَةٌ إِلّا عَلى مَن لَهُ عِلمُ

God forbade the drinking of wine, for it

Is forbidden, except to those with knowledge.

وَقَد جاءَ في القُرآنِ إِثباتُ نَفعِها

وَلَكِنَّ فيهِ مِن تَوابِعِها إِثمُ

And the Quran has stated its benefits,

Yet it has sinful consequences.

وَذاكَ بِقَدرِ الشارِبينَ وَعَقلِهِم

فَفي مَعشَرٍ حِلٌّ وَفي مَعشَرٍ حُرمُ

That depends on the drinker and their intellect -

For some groups it is permitted, for others forbidden.

وَلَو شاءَ تَحريماً عَلى كُلِّ مَعشَرٍ

لَقالَ رَسولُ اللَهِ لا يُغرَسُ الكَرمُ

If He had wanted to forbid it for all groups,

The Messenger of God would have said “Do not plant vineyards.”
