1. She appeared in attributes and qualities
That dazzled reason in its abode of certainty

2. And dawn manifested in a dress of beauty
Woven with pride and omnipotence

3. Reason witnessed from the radiance of her splendor
What left it confounded and stunned

4. And saw that she made all things precious seem cheap
So the priceless beauty became yet more prized

5. The articulate one wished to utter some words
But recoiled, unable save to keep silent

6. If you aspire to her lofty qualities then refrain
O brother of determination, from all ambitions

7. And if you draw near the precincts of her protection
Remove your shoes submissively in prayer

8. And keep your heart from revealing any secrets
And await her at her predestined time

9. And if she turns affectionately and directs
Toward you in intimacy the melting ruby

10. Then cling to her and do not weary of her alone
For she will suffice the lover instead of all strength

11. If a cup were to appear from her to the universe
It would intoxicate all speakers and mutes

12. And by my life if not for her splendor at night
No lost soul would find its way to the tavern

13. O my joy - reason has become infatuated with her
So her divine mystery has dazed the mortal mind

14. She cheered the gloom of my heart and lit up
With her light, the darkness of worldly woes

15. The Kalim saw her light guide his path
Then she was the tranquility of the Ark

16. She loved Talut though he erred
Ruler of a people imposing on Talut

17. David discerned her influence so he emerged
Victorious in battle over Jalut

18. And she clouded the minds of a people who said
She is sorcery traceable to Harut

19. But he who transgressed against her in ignorance
She guided away from idols and evil

20. And barred him from nearing the precincts of her proximity
So he rejected her with his misguided mind

21. She increased the steadfast scholar in certainty
And thought little of the ignorant fool

22. How can her brilliance be hidden from eyes
When she is manifest in kingdom and heaven?

23. Say to the self that has tempted you to her
If you desire life through her, then you must die
