O you who behold, on the cheek of a supple, swaying youth,
O you who gaze upon the cheek of a lovely maid
a mole, delicate in freshness and beauty:
Whose beauty spot enchants with grace and charm

He dwelt in the heart, and some of its blackness settled
It calms the heart and touches gently on its sorrow
in the rose of his garden, and so was called a mole.
Like a rose it blossoms, so we call it "beauty mark"
