1. My soul stripped itself of self
Removing its garb, releasing all obscurity

2. And my today lacked tomorrow
With little added since yesterday's eve

3. Yet I kept watch for the moon of darkness
Until in the sun the moon I espied

4. And I sought shade from it within it
From the world of senses to the Divine Presence

5. So I attained the spoils and since have not lost
When I sought refuge with the unseen from mankind
