Sol 5.6

  1. The glances of the one who keeps me awake fell asleep,

    and the dispositions of my intoxicant grew sober.

  2. The eye lies when his phantom spends the night

    in my eye socket.

  3. And for that I subjected it

    to tears—the prescribed penalty for a false accuser.

  4. Indeed, I was given drink even as I thirsted,

    from his garden and from my Kawthar.

  5. Indeed, I dallied just as I wished,

    with ʿAbla and with ʿAntar—

  6. with a male as though a female,

    and a female as though a male.

  7. My two eyes: this one, toward a turban,

    gazes; that one, toward a woman’s head-wrap.
