Translation
What is the most beautiful thing for the eyes? The ‘face’ of the ‘deer-eyed beloved’, adorned by the ‘love-filled smile’! What is the most fragrant thing? The smell of her face! What is the most melodious sound? Her softly spoken words! What is the tastiest thing? Her juicy lips! What is the softest thing? Her (flower-like delicate) body! What is the best object for thoughts? Her youthful looks! Those whose hearts are lost in love of a girl should always meditate on her charms! ॥ 7 ॥
