1. By my father, in love sweet of union
Ambergris of scent, pure of gaze

2. Sluggish of glance, a captivating charmer
Skillful of description, bright as dawn

3. He shames the full moon in perfection if unveiled
And the dark-eyed houries in beauty if beheld

4. I looked at him shyly on his cheek
Blushing within a cleft beneath the dusk
