Look at the magic flowing from his glances,
Behold the magic flowing from his cheeks,
And his mouth, amid waters and folds.
And his lips between waters and kohl.

And look at the long lashes that kohl has adorned,
Behold a dimple that kohl adorned,
Lowered over the deep blackness of his languid eye.
Swollen over smooth cheeks from its edge.

And look at the fine hairs upon his cheek,
Behold hairs above his cheek,
As though they were tufts of nap on brocade.
As if they were brokers in brocade.

And look at his smiling mouth as his moustache first sprouts,
Behold his smile when his moustache quivered,
Like ants creeping over a tablet of ivory.
Like ants creeping on an ivory tablet.

Then do pardon a libertine for loving him,
Then pardon a wicked man in his love,
And marvel at a man's heart that escapes loving him.
And wonder at the heart of a man who whispers intimately of his love.
