1. I mixed for him a drink with water
In the dark of night when sleep is hard.

2. When I raised my hand it shone bright,
Its radiance piercing the gloom.

3. He tossed and turned, reaching out
Seeking relief from fever’s grip.

4. On his fingers he saw a redness
With no trace of ember’s burning heat.

5. I said, be still, this is nothing but
The glow of pearl behind her veil.

6. Unchain it and you will find joy
For night conceals a maiden's limbs.

7. He glanced back hoping for a look
But sight fell short of her hijab.

8. With the sly glance of a fawn’s eye
And smooth cheek of a hill’s plateau

9. When tested, her beauty displayed
Strange wonders from every angle.

10. Eyes lowered before him, humbled,
Bowing necks to his stately height.

11. He has a name befitting speech
Wondrous, untouched by scribal pen.

12. He is called, they say, “The Reasoner,”
And that to me seems accurate.

13. With pure mind and luminous face
He shone through the clouds like full moon.
