1. Like peas in their pods,
His beauty delights the eye,

2. As if his radiance
Were of the finest make and form.

3. Like the whites of eggs enfolded,
A joy to behold and savor,

4. Or the eyes of houri maidens
Cast down in modest gaze.

5. Like the tender leaves
Nestled in verdant growth,

6. Or wings of night that linger
At first light with remnants of dark.

7. Like pearls in necklace strings,
Or folds in damask cloth,

8. As if musk had etched his skin
With well-traced paths.

9. His scent itself reveals
The purity within.

10. Noble in his creation,
If he is kind, he pardons;

11. If wrath comes like a flood,
He holds back with gentle calm.

12. Though rain be sparse, he is generous;
Though time be harsh, he is kind.
