1. O you unmatched in perfection, you've attained
The highest place in the sublime domain,

2. A lord who ruled o'er lofty traits,
While people fell short of your reign,

3. Your prose like pearls has come to me,
Oh, praised be that fine refrain,

4. As though the moon revealed its light,
Dispelling darkness with its train,

5. Like a flower in clear sky,
Like a flower without stain,

6. As though a meadow stroked
By clouds and showering rain,

7. O pillar of faith, my heart
Is captivated by your sweet strain,

8. Magic it is, but lawful still,
While unlawful for others it remain.
