This sentence has been taken from al-Ayyam by Dr. Taha hossain. the complete one is as follows:
حتى يرده إلى ما حوله صوت الشاعر قد جلس على مسافة من شماله، والتف حوله الناس وأخذ ينشدهم في نغمة عذبة غريبة أخبار أبي زيد وخليفة ودياب ..."
Please concentrate on the word Diyaab. I specially would like to know about this word.
