He was merely Moses who only longed to catch a glimpse; what then must be the state of the one who has actually seen you?

The poet playfully draws upon the legend of Moses, who merely longed to witness the divine radiance on Mount Sinai and was overwhelmed by that desire alone. The couplet poses a breathtaking question: if just wishing to catch a glimpse elevates someone to the stature of Moses, what unimaginable, transcendent state must overcome the person who actually beholds the beloved's beauty? It is an intimate, poetic exaggeration that places the beloved's grace far beyond ordinary mortal perception.
