1. Our days with you are all radiant pearls
And our life with you is fresh, verdant

2. Your face shining towards the dew playfully
The sun and moon draw light from its glow

3. O sun of the horizon of glory, your
Creations are beyond counting or measure

4. My God, your meanings leave intellect, imagination and thought perplexed
In comprehending them fully

5. I said to the ignorant seeker, your seeking his loftiness was in vain
Yet from it, your nobility still fell short

6. You desire from the glorious what no other has sought
Except to retreat from it, eyes downcast

7. He whom the attainment of glory never eluded
Save that sights fell short before his vision

8. How often I visited him, and saw the earth
Brought together in one circle for a youth among men

9. In ease and unease, no hope in him was ever dashed
Nor his noble manners changed by others

10. As if keeping faith with him were a duty
Enjoined in verses and chapters of scripture

11. Without him, the world entire would lack
Generosity, without a trace remaining

12. When the clouds disperse, it is not from stinginess
But shyness before his radiance they withdraw
