1. Secrets of mysteries that are neither guarded nor divulged,
And their virgins neither violated nor assaulted.

2. Their taste is honey for the senses,
And their touch is smooth as silk to the mind.

3. They give birth to ideas for the thoughts every hour,
Of night and day when it overwhelms.

4. Females and males of meaning in a form,
In which he constrained it as Al-A'sha constrained.

5. He said that light is intermingled and not
What he intended by what he said anything wrong or deceived.

6. And the one who did not know the truth said that he
Intended by what he said to people wrong or deceived.

7. If only he knew that the light hides its night,
And that making the peeled visible made it radiant.

8. He would have said that the matter is light and its darkness,
And that is the truth by which it appears without being deceived.

9. So whoever fathomed the matter I have fathomed,
Becomes an imam who neither fears nor is deceived.
