نعم للصديق صديق لا يكلفني
ذبح الدجاج ولا شيء الفراريج
How excellent, for a friend, is a friend who does not burden me
An excellent friend for a friend—one who does not require me
with slaughtering chickens, or anything involving young fowl.
To slaughter chickens or roast young fowl.
يرضى بقدرين من كشك ومن عدس
وان تشهى فزيتون بطسوج
He is content with two pots—one of kishk and one of lentils;
He is content with two pots, of kishk and lentils;
and if a craving takes him, a tassuj’s worth of olives.
And if he has a craving, then olives for a tasuj.
Sol 6.1
