1. She is dark-skinned, yet gentle as dusk
Let go of curls that gleam under moonlight

2. Lively in gesture when she sways
Alluring when she blinks her kohl-lined eyes

3. Like a delicate flower, but one that has
Never once glanced at prospective buyers

4. Beauty itself, ever present
In her veiled, unveiled countenance

5. When she smiles discreetly, she shows
Two rubies nestled in her parted lips
