A poem by Hussain Salahuddin (the founder of the present day Majeediyya School in Malé) praising alcohol.
nethi dhanee sikundeege thehkan, ethi fodheh nulibey kamun
vethirivi whisky kula nufanduvaa, fulhi nikan fonuveynehee
vas nuhanu molhu mai vi dheyhun, masthuva fenunas furun
…
masthuvaa heekohliyas mithuraage raa nulibeynehey
naaruthah kendi burive dhiyas, baaru nethi mulhi hashugandun
yaaru thiyathuni aifulhun hama ethi fodheh nudhevenehey
saahibaa dhehvan kiyehthowey thikeh vasluge sharab
