This poem refutes negative things others may have said about the person's beauty and qualities. Over 12 lines, the speaker asks "who told you" negative qualities such as being ugly, fat, or having swollen lips, before asserting that to them the person is beautiful in a variety of ways such as having golden honey hair, passionate breath, and skin as resplendent as a lotus. The speaker says that even if the whole world condemned the person, to them they would still be the most fascinating and lovable person, with the speaker's heart belonging to them forever.
