  • When I beheld thee, the absurd became actual for me: my spirit was submerged in the Glory.
  • When I beheld thee, O Spirit of the world, verily love for this (earthly) sun fell from mine eye. 1085
  • By thee mine eye was endowed with lofty aspiration: it looks not on the (earthly) garden save with contempt.
  • I sought light: verily I beheld the Light of light. I sought the houri: verily (in thee) I beheld an object of envy to the houri.
  • I sought a Joseph comely and with limbs (white as) silver: in thee I beheld an assembly of Josephs.
  • I was (engaged) in searching after Paradise: from every part of thee a Paradise appeared (to me).
  • In relation to me this is praise and eulogy; in relation to thee this is vituperation and satire, 1090
  • Like the praise given to God by the simple shepherd in the presence of Moses the Kalím—
  • ‘I will seek out Thy lice, I will give Thee milk, I will stitch Thy shoon and lay them before Thee.’
