1. Is it a flaming firebrand that gleams, or a smooth cheek?
Is it a plump beauty that exhales fragrance, or a tender gazelle?

2. Arise, let us examine this in their branches,
For I have no choice but to pick one.

From it blessings on which we climb back up.

4. Today is a day whose sight delights,
If lightning laughs, thunder guffaws loudly.
