[…] ‘Those loves which are for the sake of a colour (outward beauty) are not love: in the end they are a disgrace.<\/p>\n

Would that he too had been disgrace (deformity) altogether, so that evil judgement might not have come to pass upon him!<\/p>\n

Blood ran from his eye (that flowed with tears) like a river; his (handsome) face became the enemy of his life.<\/p>\n

The peacocks’s plumage is its enemy: O many the king who hath been slain by his magnificence!<\/p>\n

He said. “I am the muskdeer on account of whose gland that hunter shed my pure (innocent) blood.<\/p>\n

Oh, I am the fox of the field whose head they (the hunters springing forth) from the covert cut off for the sake of the fur.<\/p>\n

Oh, I am the elephant whose blood was shed by the blow of the mahout for the sake of the bone (ivory).<\/p>\n

He who hath slain me for that which is other than I (i.e. “on account of my beauty, which is not my real self.”) does not he know that my blood sleepeth not (will not rest unavenged)?<\/p>\n

To-day it lies on me and to-morrow it lies on him: when does the blood of one such as I am go to waste like this?<\/p>\n

Although the wall casts a long shadow, (yet at last) the shadow turns back towards it.’ […]<\/p>\n
