I am the comb that runs through your amber-scented hair,
the artist who adorns your heart-winning face.
I am the pupil in your bewitching eyes,
and the mirror where your face reveals its glow.
Explanation: The «mashate» is the woman who beautifies a bride; here the poet casts himself as the one who enhances the beloved's beauty. Amber-scented hair is a classical image of fragrance and darkness.
