1. Her veil has lifted and naught remains concealed
Of me nor secret left unveiled

2. She came, and night's shirt trails
Its hem, while morn's cloak has not been sewn

3. She smiled at seeing my tears, confused
My eyes' pearls with laughter's corals interwoven

4. So I wavered midst the pearls of my tears and her smile
Perplexed amidst the entangled and the intertwined

5. My heart and body are in your hands, surrendered to passion
Ravish or rupture as you will

6. Your glances undo lovers, yet you've naught to fear
Among the slain of love no bloodguilt rests on you

7. All the proud are humbled by passion for you
As the abased are exalted in a king's sanctuary

8. A king whom, if Fate's hand were to treat justly,
It would set nowhere but at the sky's pinnacle

9. Folks marvel at what we recount of him, so if
They sought refuge in him, he would free what was bound

10. People shared in the bounty of his comfort
Yet his glory in the wilds was peerless

11. An ocean he was, yet his ports were wholesome
Though the sea gathers sweet and bitter both

12. In his palm, a pen whose claws
Bring benefit in frays or truces

13. Say to one who shuns him, how to gain riches:
"You tread a path no foot before has trodden"

14. O you who'd sail the sea, I dwell now in a king's household
A neighbor to both sea and glorious king

15. O defender of the faith, whose will's meteors
Light the sky of glory and love

16. Fate brings no day when it would tilt
Against a servant clinging to your bond

17. No sooner have I pitched tent in your lands
Than you become as water to the fish

18. You've never ceased granting me affection and raising me high
Till I fancied myself at the sky's pinnacle

19. I bid farewell to your glory, feet stumbling backwards,
As if barefoot I walked on jagged glass

20. How could any foot lead me from your shade?
By your grace it has the strongest fetters

21. So climb the heights, rising high,
Honored, while your detractor is in the pit's lowest abyss
