perceived a pleasure, but bitterness paired with it.

pouring poison into a julep of sugar.

but by its effect said, "O soul, grow sluggish."

but hand and garment grow black from it.

look at its action: you see dark workings.

yet by its nature is a thief of sight.

Whoever was neither aware nor a person of taste (dhawq),
his speech was a collar around that person's neck.

the vizier became the refuge of the followers of Jesus.

the people died before his command and judgment.
