Sulaima |
The one whose manifestation witnessed the astronomer’s eye
In the sun, in the moon, in the assembly of stars |
Whom the Sufi found in the dark recesses of his heart
Whom the poet saw in the midst of elegance of Nature |
Whose brilliance exists, whose fragrance persists
In the pearls of dew, in the shirts of flowers |
Who has inhabited the wilderness by becoming tranquillity
Whose Presence creates the uproar in the midst of the garden |
Though His Beauty is manifest in everything
In your eye is Its climax, O Sulaima! |
