We never claimed that the design was not the ease of the craftsman. Only after the moon was entirely consumed did the face turn bitter.

This couplet beautifully captures the idea that true realization often comes only after a significant change or event. The poet says that he never doubted the skill of the artisan (naqqash). But only when the full moon appeared—a moment of perfect beauty—did the beloved's face appear bitter (neem-rukh). It suggests that perfection itself can reveal hidden flaws or disappointments, transforming beauty into melancholy.
