Sol 5.6

  1. So you revealed a face beneath a combed fall of hair,

    and it was like a full moon beneath a coiffed night.

  2. And he portrayed it as the full moon as well—in very truth—

    with pure ghāliya, the most meticulous of image-makers.

  3. Two side-locks were traced across your face as an adornment

    upon it—and two loves for that prematurely appearing cheek-down.

  4. And already from it a moustache has begun to sprout above a smiling mouth,

    like a carnelian bough wreathed in pearls.
