I saw the Gates of Paradise swing open before me and said, "O my

lady, let this piece of stuff be now thine and another like it is

ready for thee, only let me have one look at thy face." So she

raised her veil and I saw a face the sight of which bequeathed to

me a thousand sighs, and my heart was so captivated by her love

that I was no longer ruler of my reason. Then she let fall her

face veil and taking up the piece of stuff said, "O my lord make

me not desolate by thine absence!" and turned away and

disappeared from my sight.
