1. If I did not have praises for your loftiness,
My descent to your abode would suffice, O radiant one.

2. I shall not boast of what I have praised your loftiness with,
For words carried naught but your meaning.

3. Had I taken for it a partner in loftiness,
I would have seen my partner's association as polytheism.

4. If I erred by ignoring a group,
Thankfulness of the tongue - you alone were intended.

5. So people, if endowed with fine speech were granted it,
The doing is yours - I never perceived any loftiness but yours.

6. I made excuses when I could not attain, for you,
Description - and my incapacity was a perception.
