Description

Popular poetry written in a mixture of Arabic script and Judaeo-Arabic on the subject of a man addicted to the love of singing women (ʿishq al-maghānī, pl. of mughaniyya), and who is bankrupt (muflis) and fond of beer (mizr). Same poem as in T-S NS 324.68. The refrain is: وما تدع عنك عشق المغاني.
