O Sun! The world's essence and motivator you are; the organizer of the book of the world you are.

The splendor of existence has been created by you. The verdure of the garden of existence depends on you.

The spectacle of elements is maintained by you. The exigency of life in all is maintained by you.

Your appearance confers stability on everything; your illumination and concord is completion of life.

You are the sun which establishes light in the world, which establishes heart, intellect, essence and wisdom.

O Sun! Bestow on us the light of wisdom; bestow your luster's light on the intellect's eye.

You are the decorator of necessaries of existence' assemblage; you are the Yazdan* of the denizens of the high and the low. (Yazdan: In the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian philosophy of Persia he is the god of good and virtue as opposed to Ahraman, who is the god of evil and sin.)

Your excellence is reflected from every living thing; the mountain range also shows your elegance.

You are the sustainer of the life of all; you are the king of the light's children.

There is no beginning and no end of yours; free of limits of time is the light* of yours * This does not mean that the sun is eternal in the theological sense, but that it will last in the present form till the existence of the material universe in its present form.
