"She was a pearl most pure and white,
By Allah fashioned out of light;
Her beauty was a wondrous thing
Beyond all human reckoning.
If on the Day of Judgement, when
The trumpets sound for sinful men,
I find, before the Throne of Grace,
My deeds as lovely as her face;
Of all the creatures Allah made
I shall most fully be repaid,
A double Eden to reside
And dark-eyed virgins by my side".
