Continually he makes an enemy of every affair
They say the flagon maker is not a muslim
Give him salutation ! he makes the cup
Payne 1898 - 414
The veil, in thy power and disposal that head and face maketh
Short work evermore of thine enemy's whole case maketh:
As they say in the saw, "No Muslim's the flagon-maker:
But praise him because he flagons with such a grace maketh."
Thompson 1906 - 822
He who so featly could proportion thee,
Ever hath power to crush thine enemy.
"Who flagons makes no Moslem is!" they say.
To Him who shapes the gourd thy praises be.
