1. The souls were wedded to their bodies
When man revealed their essence

2. And nature firmly established in them desire
When the Creator firmly constructed them

3. The Merciful settled him in a garden
Where he plays with houris and youths

4. He went around with a cup and a pitcher
While the Merciful's servants waited upon him

5. When he came to the mound of heat
Seeking sights to delight his eyes

6. If only our souls knew their own essence
They would together recite their Quran

7. Glory to Him whose wisdom confused them
So they know not their own Quran
