Number 2

A wine you could not tell apart from sunlight, if you held it up against the sun. It glows from the cup as if a Yemeni ruby were set within the star Suhail.
Explanation: Suhail (Canopus) is a bright star traditionally linked with Yemen, and Yemeni carnelian (aqiq) was prized for its red glow; the image likens the wine's color and brilliance to both.

نبیدی که نشناسی از آفتاب چو با آفتابش کنی مقترن
چنان تابد از جام گویی که هست عقیق یمن در سهیل یمن
