1. In the night there is depth, and in gloom there is a tunnel
If time poured into it, it would swallow it

2. If thunder tore my hearing someone
In the depth of that gloom it would not hear it

3. If dawn with its edges poured in
The smallest vessel in its possession and flooded it

4. Its stars would remain drowned in its chest
And the mother of stars lying in its bed

5. Life would lose its world in it
As the stranger loses his dwelling place

6. And the vast world would shrink into
A sturdy corner that nothing can be seen with it

7. It would wipe out whatever traces existence has
Its place in time or lost it

8. And would erase ugliness and beauty, so that
In the universe there would be no meaning left that it had not taken away

9. In where the wiping clouds it, you would think it
Inherited the rope of life and cut it off

10. Life passed over it crossing it
In a boat that I know who built it

11. Until when its banks became independent
The deep swallowed it

12. And there was an age and eras fell down
And ignorance inciting over its dusty ground

13. Repelling the arrow of light with its shield
And taking refuge in caves so that it would not shake it off

14. Until the light overflowed and a
Source of light gushed out, its innovation astray

15. So today no boat of morning is difficult
Nor are the harbors of the sky inaccessible

16. A light from knowledge on its steps
We strive and for knowledge in existence there is capacity
