Sol 5.6

  1. Ibn Sawda gave a red carnation—

    red as his cheek, and sweetly fragrant;

  2. and his pearly smiling mouth—its perfume wafted.

    Never have you seen a pearl breathe forth perfume.

  3. At it, what had lain hidden in the heart surged up,

    and kindled within the vitals the glow of embers.
