لَقَد كَرَّم المَولى بَني آدم عَلى
سِواهم بِعَقل كامل وَبَيانِ
Indeed, the Lord honored Adam’s children above
all others, with perfect reason and eloquence.
فَما فَضل من بِالسُكر قَد زالَ عَقله
عَلى غَيره مِن جنسه الحيواني
What distinction, then, has one whose reason drunkenness has swept away
over another of his kind—the animal?
Sol 5.6
