1. Oh, how I wish I knew what the great heights say
Be veiled in transcendent, bewildering judgments

2. Of Moses' vision on the Mount glimpsing
Divine revelations and godly gnosis

3. Recalling his covenant on Sinai and how
Its shocks struck him with "You will not see Me" directly

4. For through the isthmus of witnessed realities he sees
And beholds Him rending the primal matter utterly

5. Schemes had spellbound him, nothing appeared
On the sphere of planning, polished by Oneness

6. And after the rending of matter, we behold Him
By His power in the atom, the emerald speck

7. Answer me, did he forget Sinai's affairs
From what appeared in the lofty humanities?

8. He saw by the riddles' reversals, the one
Who saw his Lord by intuitive witnessing

9. Could what he saw have distracted his ardency
From the unclear circles of mystic witnessing?

10. Thus he did not recall what Sinai ordained him
In the Mount's forms, the divine enigmas

11. Had he fulfilled the demand on Sinai, he would not have returned
Except by the measure of Mosaic envisioning

12. Answer me, did he hesitate from the lofty meanings?
Rather he transcends in grasping spirits

13. Journeying on the tips of tongues, addressing
The meanings of spiritual tablets profoundly

14. That which deterred him is what he encountered of woes
Plunging for the sake love's songs

15. Though in God he was slain
Not for the dark, corporeal melodies
