Upon his cheek the rose took rounded shape and bloomed.
The rose encircled his cheek in loveliness
And at its center is a mole that brought about my disgrace.
With a mole upon its center bewitching me

So I said to him, “What is on your cheek, my enchanter?”
I said, “What's with your cheek that's so captivating?”
Then he said to me, “A dinar and a grain of musk.”
He said, “A gold coin and a grain of musk.”
