What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

A poetry interlude: he reads and explains a poem about love, beauty and patience.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth reads a poem in Urdu with Persian words and explains its lines in English: the poet says the craze is no longer in his head nor the desire in his heart, yet he cannot trust his resolve to have left love alone. He explains a line saying it is true he has not fallen in love, but also that the beloved's beauty is not all that, and another on the nature of beauty, to which the only cure is patience. He explains a Persian word and a line about not speaking ill of someone with one's own mouth. Much of the recited poetry is missing from the captions.
