Sol 6.1

  1. The anguish of inborn love was deepened

    By every sickness rooted in my soul.

  2. A sigh—its heat pervades my heart,

    Never seen as separate from it.

  3. Time's hindrances deliberately held me back

    From my journey to a noble Messenger.

  4. The cream of the prophets, in essence and origin,

    And he understands every symbol better than them all.

  5. Ascetic, full of praise, deeply grateful, ever-patient,

    With a beacon firmly rooted in piety.

  6. Radiant of face, sweet of fragrance, pure,

    Through him, existence grew sweet at his appearing.

  7. God increased his eminence and perfection,

    And chose him for His safeguarded secret.

  8. Knowledge surged from him, sweet, and so revealed

    Pearls and pierced gems.

  9. Zamzam was honored through him, and the prayer ground

    Gained glory and distinction from him.

  10. Creation blossomed through him and came

    To sway with its quivering figure.
