Choose as your partner someone who shines on you,
whose brightness illuminates the darkest corners of your heart.
Yet before you make your choice, be careful.
Ensure that the beauty is real, and not counterfeit--
like a lead coin coated in gold plate.
The right partner is someone whose external beauty is
exactly matched by internal virtue.
Moulana Mohammad Molavi Rumi (Persian Poet)
Masnavi III 545
