1. Behold the magic flowing from his cheeks,
And his lips between waters and kohl.

2. Behold a dimple that kohl adorned,
Swollen over smooth cheeks from its edge.

3. Behold hairs above his cheek,
As if they were brokers in brocade.

4. Behold his smile when his moustache quivered,
Like ants creeping on an ivory tablet.

5. Then pardon a wicked man in his love,
And wonder at the heart of a man who whispers intimately of his love.
