1. Those who surrender the truth to its masters
Admitting that it is more deserving of it

2. They are the ones who with the light of their intellect found guidance
To enter its house through its door

3. What virtue does Ibn Arabi the wise possess
Over the Prophet and what he brought

4. The Messenger of Allah said about the Lord of the Skies
As you have read in His Book

5. Do not prostrate to the sun - and Ibn Arabi
Said openly, and what he hinted

6. Rather, prostrate to it and what you have worshipped
Of trees or stones called upon

7. It is God, so for those who have
No sanctity in their claims

8. Is it Allah or this wicked one, woe to them
From the evil of this and its commission

9. I wonder to see the Shaykh of Shaykhs forgetful
Letting the enemy of his Lord near his door

10. Do not let what you see of his composure fool you
For all good is in avoiding him

11. I seek refuge for him in Allah from honoring me
Who hates the truth among his loved ones

12. He comes between the young man and his religion
And spews poison to whoever is alone with him

13. Allah between our religion and his
Though he calls to its ruin

14. And the Muslims all cursed him
And all fled from going near him

15. His religion is the religion of Ibn Arabi
And none among you know more of him than I

16. Befriending him risks involving those who befriend him
In suspicion, so refrain from assuming his companionship

17. And do not speak of his name in nearness
To you, for the scholars emulate him

18. Let no more of Islam approach you after this
In nearness to what is not in its reckoning

19. Remove him from your nearness to please our Lord
For his nearness calls to His displeasure

20. By Allah, I am an advisor and a warner
From his evil, fearing he will be accused of it

21. This which is upon me I have conveyed
Seeking the Most Merciful’s pleasure in it
