1. A moon smiled, revealing pearls newly sprung.

    So I remained gazing at him, with the eyes of one dumbfounded.

  2. Every beauty still falls short of him,

    until he passed beyond the epithets of the describer.

  3. Beauty prostrated itself before his face when it beheld

    the bewilderment of minds before his surpassing loveliness.

  4. Indeed, I surely hope to attain union with him

    through tenderness from him—to the gloating foe’s chagrin.
