ગુજરાતીગીતોનું ગીત ૧:૫
હું શ્યામ છું પણ સુંદર છું, હે યરુશાલેમની દીકરીઓ, કેદારના તંબુઓની માફક શ્યામ, સુલેમાનના પડદાઓની માફક સુંદર છું.
हिन्दीश्रेष्ठगीत १:५
हे यरूशलेम की पुत्रियों, मैं काली तो हूँ परन्तु सुन्दर हूँ, केदार के तम्बुओं के और सुलैमान के पर्दों के तुल्य हूँ।

In context

3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

4Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! They are right to love you.

5I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.

6Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
