1. Not the musk of cheeks, nor roses of the face,
Are like a meeting's day, not like the night of parting.

2. No flowers are like the pearls of the mouth,
No Doe is like the moon of assemblies.

3. No full moon is like the morning of life,
No gift is like the seal of missives.

4. If it be thus, I have hung my gazelle,
His eyes caught by hunting the lions.

5. A ban branch and a meadow's flower,
A wild cow, a human moon, a horizon's full moon.
