Page 23:
The poet writes that Shirin's lips and teeth are of the same essence as love. Her lips have never seen teeth, nor have her teeth ever seen lips. This half-couplet offers one example the ambiguities of Iranian literature because one can derive various interpretations from it. Perhaps Shirin's lips are so plump and protruding that they do not touch her teeth. Or perhaps they are, as we say in Farsi, like a finely tapered braid and so thin that no teeth could bite into them. In other words, this half-couplet could imply that no man has ever bitten Shirin's lips, or that her lips have never touched a man's teeth, or even that her teeth have never bitten a man's lips. Do you think there is any better way to describe a woman's virginity than to suggest that she has never experienced a stolen kiss?
