1. My soul is sacrificed for a book that gained all my wishes
The Messenger brought it from the Beloved

2. Bringing good news that the displeasure has turned to pleasure
And after distance, I was brought near through it

3. I imagined it looking at me with its sights
And guiding me to the goodness contained within it

4. I folded it over from joy and unfolded it
Nearly wearing it out from my kissing and turning of its pages

5. How many sweet kisses I planted on its title
And was cooled from the agony of burning torment

6. It was as if when sadness departed my eternity
It was Joseph's shirt in the eyes of Jacob

7. If what was contained in it of promises was lies
It still cured - so what of an undeceitful promise?
