بين أجفان ابن عمرو وسواد
دائرٌ في كلّ عقل بخمر
Between Ibn ʿAmr’s eyelids is blackness—and Sawād
goes circling through every mind with wine;
كلما طافَ على الصبّ غنى
إسقنيها يا سواد بن عمرو
whenever he made the rounds among the companions, he sang:
“Give it to me to drink, O Sawād ibn ʿAmr!”
Sol 5.6
