ومجمعه إن كان جمع أحبّة

ومجمعه إن كان جمع أحبّة

فسحر حلال لا تحد عنه أجمعا

فسحر حلال لا تحد عنه أجمعا

And its gathering, if it is a gathering of dear friends,

If his gathering is for beloved friends,

then it is lawful magic; do not turn away from it at all.

Then it is lawful magic, do not all forbid it.

وكاساته نعم الكؤوس وأهله

وكاساته نعم الكؤوس وأهله

ولا سيما مثنى ثلاثا ومربعا

ولا سيما مثنى ثلاثا ومربعا

And its cups—what fine cups!—and its people,

And his cups are fine cups, and his companions

especially two by two, three by three, and four by four.

Especially two, three or four.
