Long ago God grew a pearl
        nestled in the folds of space
And with one majestic gaze
        it shattered into all creation

God made the seven folds of earth
        spreading out the pearly dust
Made the seven folds of heaven
        from the pearl’s swirling mist

Poured out all the seven seas
        from the dewdrops on the pearl
Sculpted seafoam into mountains
        made them fast upon the ground

Out of love for living creatures
        made Muhammed as their teacher
Loved the ones believing in him
        made Ali to help defend them

Heaven knows what work it took
        the wisdom in our holy book
Yunus drank in ecstasy
        from that pearl from the sea
