I say, when ink appears upon
When ink appeared on
his smiling mouth, strung with pearls:
His orderly, blossoming smile,
ذلكَthat طلسمٌa talisman علىover مطلبٍa treasure

“That is a talisman over a treasure,
It was a charm on a wish
or bubbles circling upon the wine.”
Or a love spell on intoxication
