If a spot appears on the sun, it is a wonder of nature, and if idols call us infidels, it is the will of God.

This couplet is steeped in delightful wit and irony, reminding us how wonderfully contradictory life and love can be. Just as dark spots upon the blazing sun are accepted as a strange quirk of nature, the poet accepts the absurdities of love with a wry smile. The ultimate irony unfolds when the 'but'—the idol or stone-hearted beloved—accuses the devoted lover of being an infidel, a bittersweet rejection the poet playfully dismisses as simply God's mysterious will.
