And one veiled from the radiance of his face
With a face made youthful by the veil pulled over it
by a sun whose shade is that temple-lock
By a sun whose light shines from that cheek

seared my heart with the lām of his cheek-
It seared my heart with the branding-iron of blame

Making me know it was the iron of steadfastness
