1. A breeze of intimacy blew, perfuming the universe,
So I confided a secret I had concealed for so long.

2. My eyes have seen none but the One,
Each seeing a color and thinking it the only hue.

3. None can grasp the reality save a gentle wisdom
That treads softly on its ground.

4. What a gulf between one of knowledge and one ignorant!
What a gulf between one of light and one in darkness!

5. It is the soul: polish it and truths will shine forth,
With it forgetfulness shows its true colors.
