1. The blush of the cheeks is more gentle than
The roses of gardens and more sublime

2. One is split by kisses while the other
Is embraced by the mouth at the time

3. And if you were to choose between the two
The best rose is one that kisses the limb

4. No rose but the one that borrows
Its crimson dye from blood's dyeing stream

5. One is smelled but not gathered
The other gathered and inhaled as a gem

6. Glory to Him who created cheeks
As daisies that one gently breathes in

7. And lent them cheeks so that with it
A mark, a beauty spot, is made manifest

8. And gave life to eyelids so with a glance
They speak without making a sound

9. And show the beloved the secret
Of the lover so he understands

10. And hint if they see remoteness
With a glance, so greetings are sent

11. And lent them an illness with which
Hearts are healed or made sick

12. Eyes' temptations are greater than
Cheeks' temptations and supreme
