1. You are the kernel in its shell
And a lioness residing in her den

2. A mix of truth and falsehood
A priceless pearl drowned in her sea

3. Behind you, you, and before you
O glory, forgotten in her mention

4. How long, O people, in heedlessness
Are you of the Virgin and her sanctuary

5. Rise to yourselves and unveil your veil
From you, from my bliss, and from her veil

6. Her face behind your garments
Her sun rises in her full moon

7. The universe is night and day of meeting
A soul that the light shines from its dawn

8. How many robes has she taken off and manifested in
And wrapped herself in chillness in her chest

9. She is as she is in her essence
Unchanged by the spreading of her splendor

10. Rather she appears in the form
That she chooses from her command

11. And she disappears from us and from a world
To a world she walks according to her decree

12. And her affair is this as necessitated
By her station and the honor of her pride
