1. We are all, through generalization and specification
The breath of a spirit by the command of the Ancient Lord

2. From it our existence appears and disappears
Like the flash of lightning in the blink of an eye

3. Such is our lifetime, we are a people
Who have not ceased to be in the new, boundless creation

4. We are a body and that breath within
An act of the Lord upon us, kind and merciful

5. So when the body passes away in death, that breath remains
Without a frail body, it stays

6. And from it appears a form that manifests
Resembling its shape, that supple leather

7. Then if the Resurrection occurs, the bodies rise up
In a new creation, by the Divine decree

8. To an eternal bliss that never ends
Or a searing torment, relentlessly severe

9. We are a tough people, O son of knights
Our state wavering between sitting and standing

10. We love the beautiful faces, so we perish
Lost in the splendor of each handsome one

11. The gazes of passion cast us away
When they saw us enslaved by an enchanting glance

12. Or did they see us before, answering the call
Circling the House from behind the rubble

13. Whenever we wanted to see the Beloved
Ecstasy came upon us like Moses the Speaker

14. Perhaps His eye will lend us one
So we can see Him with it, honored

15. And the seer becomes the seen
O Most Great, hoped for by every great one
