She approached like a gazelle and passed like a flash of lightning.
A gazelle approached, fleeting as a lightning bolt,
And she struck like a sharp sword and swayed like bamboo.
Traversing a bustling city, grazing on flowers,

Exalted is our Lord; so no weight is given to
Our Lord is perfect, there is no moral here,
