1. A breeze's fragrance amid the shade of water
And a statue of light against the expanse of air

2. It told of a moist pearl veiled in essence
Purified by the utmost gentleness and clarity

3. Indeed the Merciful had mercy on the delicacy of his body
So He clothed him in a cloak of His light

4. He appears an angel in beauty, in his supremacy
For from light comes light, in brilliance upon brilliance

5. He is robed in a robe of beauty and wears
A cloak of glory embroidered with splendor

6. I was bewildered by him, I cannot aptly describe him
Though I am among the most eloquent poets

7. If he were in Joseph's time, the hearts
Of men would be torn, not just women

8. With the glances of his eyes he directs affairs
Killing us without shedding blood
