1. The ignorant governor was envious
While he is indolent and heedless

2. The truth remains unchanged
Never affected by falsehood

3. And honesty reveals its wisdom
If what the speaker said is true

4. And the secret shows its light
A meaning seen by the wise

5. The truth is known by its people
While the liars are tricksters

6. They tried climbing to the heights
But the opposite happened to them

7. They busied hearts with wickedness
That is a fleeting shadow

8. And imagined their deeds
While God, my Lord, is the Doer

9. They thought knowledge was from passion
While the knowers are few

10. The heart has a clear state
Distracted by nothing

11. It conveys from the Chosen One
Secrets of the Divine Presence

12. When the heart is unveiled
Nothing of my Lord's secret is veiled

13. People are of different states
Among nations they are tribes

14. They are mines of creation
Imperfect and perfect

15. And the victory spread its clouds
The flood from it flows

16. The promise is a true promise
And the text all-encompassing

17. The light is a manifest light
And the outpouring realized

18. Moses with Al-Khidr was shrouded
In perplexities for him

19. Spiritual states and realities
Obstacles and separations

20. And the journey distinguished its nights
The questioner was answered

21. So be patient, for in the shells
Are lodged the heavenly bodies

22. These suns shone
These full moons

23. My Lord will defend you
Do not despair, O wise one
