جلاب • (jolâb)

1. julep, jallab
   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی, volume I, verse 447:

     نکته‌‌ها می‌‌گفت او آمیخته
     در جلاب قند زهری ریخته

     nukta-hā mē-guft ō āmēxta
     dar julāb-i qand zahrē rēxta

     He was saying fine things mixed [with foul]: he had poured some poison into the sugared julep.
