that/who bathed in subtle light
The expression "bathe in light" is quite common in literary contexts. خفي here in my opinion isn't something nonexistent. It exists but is difficult to see; therefore, I chose "subtle".
that/who bathed in subtle light glowing even in darkness.
that/who bathed in subtle light glowing even in darkness.
