Like the equally amusing and delightful 116,1 , this verse relies on wordplay and meaning-play about the different uses of a mouth or tongue. Here are some of its enjoyable features: =In the first line the beloved's spoken claim is repeated; in the second line she is told to keep her mouth shut, lest the lover should open his own mouth and speak. =In the first line the beloved is (sarcastically) accused of speaking falsely; in the second line she is threatened with some kind of ominously true speech from the lover =In the first line the beloved denies having given a kiss, and in the second line the of 'there's a tongue in our mouth too' amusingly and erotically evokes her misdeed. (Or: 'there's a tongue even in our mouth'-- not to speak of the one in hers.) For more examples of such erotic suggestion, see 99,4 . The idiomatic, teasingly and suggestively ominous 'there's a tongue in our mouth too' perfectly fits all the levels of meaning in the verse, and since the 'tongue' is withheld until the last possible moment, it also provides an irresistibly punchy mushairah -verse ending.
