When the Lote-tree was covered over with what it was covered over;
When the lote-tree was being enveloped, by whatever around it.
when there covered the Lote-Tree that which covered;
with the lote-tree veiled in a veil of nameless splendour….
When that covered the lote-tree which covered it.
When that covered the lote-tree which did cover it!
As there covered the Lotus Tree what covered it.
(This was) when the lote-tree was covered with that which covered it.
When that covered the lote tree which did cover it!
When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,
when there covered the Lote Tree what covered it.
When there comes to the Lote Tree, that which comes
When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].
When the tree was covered with a covering,
When that which covers covered the lote-tree;
I<u>th</u> yaghsh<u>a</u> a<b>l</b>ssidrata m<u>a</u> yaghsh<u>a</u>
when the lote tree was covered in mystic splendour.
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
When the lote tree was covered through the command of Allah by something great whose true nature only Allah knows.
