1. Whence came this cheek’s rose, who set it there?
Or caused its moisture like a pearl to appear?

2. Whence came the graceful form which stands by his side
Like a full moon whose radiance fills the sky?

3. Whose is the sword that cut love’s final thread
Judging between a servant and his own flesh and blood?

4. A light of light whom Luqman never knew
Nor hidden in any darkness could he view
