1. A face not veiled, possessing beauty
Time passes through it, state after state

2. Souls yearn for him to end them
With his manifestation, as he willed, Majestic

3. Do not blame me without knowledge, reproacher
And through him, more speech and words are said to me

4. In him is my discourse and aim
Rightly with truth from him, and left

5. Hardship has departed from our knower
So convey from us the long tales

6. The heart's passion dwelling in it
It destroys him and keeps him, impossible

7. Clinging, the unveiling of his manifestation to us
With his manifestation, though it destroys men

8. Wearing from us images upon it
In destinies, forbidden and permitted

9. The light of truth shone from our darkness
So it was erased from us, and we called him Exalted

10. The people have become enraptured with him
And through him they have veiled his perfection
