1. He transcends the senses, though he is sensible,
And differs from touch, though tangible.

2. He is absent from every glance, aloof,
And his love in hearts imprisoned.

3. His appearance differs for eyes to behold,
And his person in souls embedded.

4. By his light the day breaks as
Fireflies emerge from his hair.

5. Smiling from a kissable mouth
As if pearls in it were ingrained.

6. His lovers have no fortune with him
Except what afflicts and distresses them.

7. If it were not for him, none would disobey his Lord,
Nor would Iblis misguide the servants.
