I traversed the field
of the void by myself.
I, Lalla, was left
without reason or
body-awareness.
I became aware
of my rue Self,
and then from
water weeds
a lotus bloomed
for Lalla!

The impurity of gold
had burnt away
when I put it onto the forge.
Like a sheet of ice,
I was melted by love.
When the frost was gone,
the sun came out.
I, Lalla, was at peace
when I recollected
that "I" is just one
of His names

I came from my country
and wandered in
ten directions,
speeding through
the wind and the void.
I saw Shiva and
met Him everywhere.
I closed the nine
(apertures of the body),
and Shiva
came forth

Note: At this (perfect) stage of her realization, Lalla found only Shiva in herself.
