1. Oh heart, depart from all creation
And journey to the Creator, that you may attain union with Him

2. Contemplate the universe and see how it began
You will find all in need of His bounty and grace

3. Contemplate your own origin, lest you become enraptured
Is the origin of existence like nothingness? What do you say?

4. My Lord established the universe through the secret of Kun (Be)
All things dissipated and became but His action

5. You see all the worlds from the divine effusion
With the diffusion of the Supreme Spirit and splendid lights

6. Its mystery flowed into souls and formed them as they are
Transcendent and Exalted, possessing all generosity

7. Glory to Him who is veiled from us by His Light
Veiled by Light, oh friend, from the intensity of His manifestation

8. And he who is touched by the rain of His grace and favor
Attains felicity, shaded by His shade
