  • The veil before the face of the Sun, what is it but excess of brilliance and intensity of splendour?
  • The veil over the Sun is just the Light of the Lord: the bat and the night have no lot therein. 1205
  • Inasmuch as both (of them) have remained far (from the Sun) and veiled (from it), they have remained either black-faced (like Night) or cold (like the bat).
  • Since thou hast written part of the story of the New-moon (Hilál), (now) put into words the tale of the Full-moon.
  • The New-moon and the Full-moon have oneness (with each other): they are far from duality and from imperfection and corruption.
  • The new-moon is inwardly free from imperfection: its apparent imperfection is (due to its) increasing gradually.
  • Night by night it gives a lesson in gradualness, and with deliberation it produces relief (for itself). 1210
  • With deliberation it says, “O hasty fool, (only) step by step can one mount to the roof.”
  • Let the cooking-pot boil gradually, as a skilful (cook) does: the stew boiled in a mad hurry is of no use.
  • Was not God able to create heaven in one moment by (the word) “Be”? Without any doubt (He was).
