1. I compared her to the full moon, and she just laughed
And met my words with denial

2. She ridiculed my words and said, when
Have I become dull like the full moon?

3. The full moon does not wink with an eye as
I wink, nor does it smile with a mouth

4. It does not remove its veil from its cheek
Nor tighten a necklace around its neck

5. He who compares my attributes to the full moon
Remains forever captive to my rejection
