Pearl gems and strung corals...
Clusters of wonderful flowers and gathered lips...
Small waist, little fingers, and bow-like eyebrows...
Eyes that make one orbit around, and beautiful words...

What is this birth for, if one forgets to think them...
He is indeed an ascetic, if he loses all of these...
