[Verse 1]
Twenty-two foundation letters
Engraved in voice, carved in wind
Fixed in mouth in five places
In throat
In palate
In tongue
In teeth
In lips
Twenty-two letters he tied in his tongue
And revealed his secret
He drew them up in water
Ignited them in fire
Sounded them in wind
Set them on fire in seven
Led them in twelve constellations
Twenty-two letters
He engraved them
Carved them
Weighed them
Exchanged them
Permutated them
And created with them
The soul of all created
And of all future created
