And she pierces the cloak of every dark night
Stabbing the gown of every docile one
with a keen spearhead at the tip of a slender lance.
With a past full of sharp teeth in a withered quiver

وما فوق بذل النفس جود لباذل
She bestows her very self upon the generous,
She gives herself to the people of dew
and no giver’s generosity surpasses the giving of one’s life.
And nothing surpasses giving oneself for a giver

And her radiance regales the eyes of those who watch,
Her light satisfies the eyes of onlookers
while their gazes have been fettered by the evenings.
As their glances are bound by chains
