أُغْلِي السِّبَاءَ بِكُلِّ أَدْكَنَ عَاتِقٍ أَوْ جَوْنَةٍ قُدِحَتْ وَفُضَّ خِتَامُهَا
I pay dearly for matured, dark wine—or for the contents of a dark jar whose opening has been breached and whose seal has been broken.
Al-sibāʾ concerns buying wine; adkan ʿātiq describes its dark colour and maturity. Jawnah is a dark vessel, while fuḍḍa khitāmuhā presents the physical act of breaking or opening its seal.
