Nr. 142

Calcutta nr. 142

No one who is firm will make abjuration
From wine that is like the Water of Life
If anyone abjures during Ramazan
God grant that he may also have freedom from prayers

Nicolas 1867 - 135
Quiconque a de la constance ne renoncera pas à boire du vin, car le vin renferme en soi la vertu de l'eau de la vie. Si quelqu'un y renonce durant le mois de rèmèzan, qu'il s'abstienne au moins de l'obligation des prières.

Thompson 1906 - 430
The man of spirit, wine renounces ne'er.
The wine that to Life's water doth compare,
In Ramazan if one needs must abstain,
At least let it be abstinence from prayer.
