1. O wayfarer, ask those who stop by the valleys,
Quenching their thirst leisurely, if they have seen

2. Those wandering souls become joyous at the sight,
Of one leading a people who camped by the valley.

3. My fate has shackled my feet and stopped me,
So be my messenger to them, O wayfarer!

4. Greet them and tell them of the spirit and body,
And heart of their father, whom fate opposed.

5. Tell them, though far, what I have is through them -
Support I cannot do without day and night.

6. They thought distance would console me,
How can estrangement and exile comfort me?

7. Or how can I forget, once a stranger now so close,
Their nearness is all I hope for and frequent?

8. Or how can I forget the pact, when they granted me,
Pure affection, they gave before I asked?

9. They honored me with a secret, if revealed,
Would bring me disgrace and envious foes.

10. Whenever this breeze blows from the valley depths,
I remember my days and feasts gone by.

11. No branch sways in the thickets, but I recall,
My times with them and days of camaraderie.

12. No lovesick nightingale sings with yearning,
But tears flow from my eyes onto my cheek.

13. Long have I stayed in the abode of estrangement, waiting,
For the order to return, however delayed.

14. Bring me the dust from the land where they dwell,
From when we were united, at the time of my witnessing.

15. O will the days gather in leisure once more,
Between me and my loved ones and masters?

16. May I drink from their wine in a gathering,
Of the gnostics, the pillars and pegs.

17. And kindle a lamp, bright and luminous,
Light upon light, with openings and litanies.

18. The light of the path and light of attraction combined,
Radiantly between ascetics and devoted worshippers.

19. Now I know, undoubtedly mixed with me,
Is that my way has breached the norm.

20. Abandoning the familiar self's inclinations,
I attain salvation among my shapes and opposites.

21. I have realized that all good lies in following,
My grandfather, the guiding Prophet.

22. Upon him the purest prayers of God, followed by,
Peace from Him for all times and habitats.
