1. The veil between the lovers and her is lofty
Yet they bowed to its door in prostration

2. An unbreakable pact, and a covenant
Witnessed and written in tablets

3. If the blamer denies my love for her
It is only because I came and they went

4. I knew, so I chose passion, yet in their ignorance
They blamed me for my youthful love

5. I witnessed the attributes of perfection on her face
While the veil did not contradict what I saw

6. Between the shadows, she and I share a bond
Without physical union, though bodies are dust

7. The time of her acceptance of me, if only
It would last, while people remain wrathful

8. Through the five cosmos, I kept seeking
Her aqueous realm, though it is unreachable

9. In her luminous realm, I saw her fire
Without a veil, though likenesses veil

10. You did not veil me from boredom, but rather
To give lovers meaning and answers

11. If you distanced me after my nearness, my return
To you is certain, however long the days

12. If my friends think I seek another
What I named is not missed, though sought

13. How could my mind roam from you, in your abode's air
As the misguided assumed it would wander
