Cherif Md Poem
I wish that Cupid's eye be not as weak
So that an arrow long could hit us both
I wish a lover's dear the arrow seek
So that by cupid's name be you my troth
O that as love is born in loving hearts
Thereby a place is sav'd For loving eyes
Alas! that cupid's mind most foolish part
Sees not that loves, nor hears a broken sigh
And that his arrow's point, be missing aim
And travels far as rightful ways be seen
Thus lover's hearts be not to cupid games
And stay a virgin shame, a conquered shield
But that how life is led, we must not think
And know that hearts unloved the arrow sink

Cherif Md Poem
O' look in times how beauty wast defined!
And still defined' is it by faces fair
See how the white, well-painted and divine
Seekst not the color white, but only dare
To be in marriage bound to fairest white
And colored are, by due of likeness seek
To be well-saved by colored faces night
And only choose the best accordant sweet
Thus all the colors in their faces live
And so they love, and so they shall be loved
But all discordant faces bare and dimm'd
Are left, bereaved and destined not to love
Or else, be joined are they by likeness fit
To add themselves, what was by time bereft
T'may that which is not matched to lightness lit
And 'spire be, as well in ranks be held
O' hail'd they shall, the fairest faces made
And cheriched are for all the beauty shown
Praised be their hearts, if darkness they inhale
And those who true love hold, their hearts disowned
This life ere now, unfair to all unfair
Cannot defy, for is thus writ and born
Proud faces sought, by less of beauty snare
And only join those like their share and more
But We alone, no beauty's bounty taste
Not meant to live, nor die as long time haste

Cherif Md Poem
How sweet art thee, o beauty gentle 'soft
O lovely queen,and rosy flower red
Thy spring to honey bees and are they oft
To suck thee young, and so be you thus wed
But me, to keep my share of love as much
No sucking will'st,no sweetness of thy youth
Seekst i be with, to caress thee and touch
Since love is false, and love lies all be truth
And Not to me , not me to thee was't born
To teach me love, in temples of thine eyes
To take thee mine, and you myself adorn
Both we make two, from one love-dying sigh
So keep thy worth to those who are as bold
And pray they love thee as my true love hold
