Falsehood withers within its darkness
And the Truth gleams upon its door
Knowledge and Light flutter over it
And Reason and Wisdom are its paths
Encompassing all, within it are the heavens
And the earth, as you wish, in its vastness
It narrates of the celestial spheres in their beginning
And the day they crumble by their causes
And if you know God by His grace
You would see Him exulting in its robes
Were the mystery of its essence to be unveiled
The world and its masters would be struck unconscious
The creed1 of origination is overflowing
With the eternal core between its lashes
A beloved one inspired by her Lord
His beloved, the eminent and brilliant scholar
