  • For He bestows spiritual light both on cloud and mist, and God best knoweth how to impart (it).
  • How Solomon, on whom be peace, bade the envoys of Bilqís return to her with the gifts which they had brought; and how he called Bilqís to (accept) the Faith and to abandon sun-worship.
  • “O shamefaced envoys, turn back! The gold is yours: bring unto me the heart, the (pure) heart!
  • Lay this gold of mine on the top of that gold (of yours): date corporis caecitatem pudendo mulae.” [Lay this gold of mine on the top of that gold (of yours): give the body’s blindness (its blind desire for gold) to a (female) mule’s private part.”] 615
