His thoughts dwell with the moon and the stars,

He creates beauty in that which is ugly and strange.

He is a Khizr, and amidst his darkness is the Fountain of Life:[59] 705

All things that exist are made more living by his tears.

Heavily we go, like raw novices,

Stumbling on the way to the goal.

His nightingale hath played a tune

And laid a plot to beguile us, 710

That he may lead us into Life’s Paradise,

And that Life’s bow may become a full circle.
