1. O God, say and leave existence and all it contains
If you seek to attain perfection

2. For all below God, if you examine it
Is nothingness in detail and in general

3. And know that you and all the worlds
Without Him would be wiped out and destroyed

4. One who has no existence in his essence
His existence without Him is purely impossible

5. Thus the gnostics vanished and when they witnessed
Nothing but the Exalted, the Magnificent

6. And saw all else as perishing in reality
In the present, past and future

7. So erase with your mind or glance - do you see
Anything but acts from the Acts?

8. And look upon the height of existence and its low
A look supported by reasoning

9. You will find all pointing to His Majesty
With the tongue of state or tongue of words

10. He who upholds things from high to
Low and originates them without model
