Of a truth Allah had united in her every charm： her shape would shame the branch of waving tree and the rose before her cheeks craved lenity；and the honey dew of her lips of wine made jeer，however old and clear，and she gladdened heart and beholder with joyous cheer，even as saith of her the poet，'Goodly of gifts is she，and charm those perfect eyes，With lashes shaming Kohl and all the fair ones Kohl'd[66]And from those eyne the glances pierce the lover's heart，Like sword in Mir alMuminina Ali's hold.'
And （the relator continueth） as for Kanmakan，he became unique in loveliness and excelling in perfection no less；none could even him in qualities as in seemliness and the sheen of velour between his eyes was espied，testifying for him while against him it never testified.The hardest hearts inclined to his side；his eyelids bore lashes black as by Kohl；and he was of surpassing worth in body and soul.And when the down of lips and cheeks began to sprout bards and poets sang for him far and near，'Appeared not my excuse till hair had clothed his cheek，And gloom o'ercrept that sideface （sight to stagger！）
A fawn，when eyes would batten on his charms，
Each glance deals thrust like point of Khanjardagger.'
And saith another，'His lovers' souls have drawn upon his cheek
An ant that perfected its rosy light：
I marvel at such martyrs Lazapent
Who yet with greeny robes of Heaven are dight.''[67]
