  • The eye is made seeing by meeting with God: how should God become the confidant of every fool?
  • He (the fool) sees (what he thinks is) candy: it is, in sooth, deadly poison; he sees (what he thinks is) the road: it is, in sooth, the cry of the ghoul (luring him to destruction). 2310
  • O sky, in the tribulation of (these) latter days thou art revolving swiftly; pray, give (us) time (respite and relief).
  • Thou art a keen dagger to assail us; thou art a poisoned lancet to bleed us.
  • O sky, learn mercy from the Mercy of God: do not, like a snake, inflict wounds on the hearts of ants.
  • By the truth of Him who hath set the wheel of thy sphere turning above this (earthly) abode,
  • (We beseech thee to) revolve in another wise and show mercy, ere thou uproot us. 2315
  • (We beseech thee by) the truth of thy having fostered us at first, so that our (young) shoot grew up from (the nurture given by) water and earth;
  • By the truth of that King who created thee pure and displayed so many cressets in thee,
  • Who hath kept thee so flourishing and lasting that the materialist hath thought thee (existent) from eternity.
