1. Why sorrow and for what purpose lament
Since the end of these marchings is annihilation

2. It passes quickly like the phantom of sleep
For all mankind and the world passes away

3. And events go by like clouds
When they disperse and vanish

4. So one says this and another cries out
And all are helpless in what has afflicted them

5. And how many under this cycle
Souls passed away before reaching their wishes

6. And reason may claim all wisdom
Yet how many pretenders destroy what they built

7. While we, the rational ones
Left all to our Lord

8. Yes, in all matters
We were content with what pleases God for us

9. So if He wills we sleep in soft slumber
And if He wills we rise in the cold of age

10. And it behooves us to incline our hearts
To Him and occupy them in praising Him

11. And teach them the knowledge of Taha the Beloved
And a servant succeeds by such heedfulness

12. We incline people to their Lord
To revive the servants and illuminate the horizons

13. And we fold in the train of the Messenger
And time and what has passed

14. In poverty, so we sufficed with our Creator
And in poverty to God is all wealth

15. We took to the path of the noble Prophet
So we were serene and our secret delighted

16. And he set out determined for the lofty goals
To the distance of two bow lengths when he approached

17. And we came with the verse of those who followed him
So we made the Most High our refuge

18. We uncovered the barrier of the steeds of passion
So time stood up for us and bent over

19. And we are the teachers of the people of perfection
Progressing to the presence of the most high through us

20. And no pursuer of the path of the chosen one was ever disappointed
Who gathered himself for the journey in our company

21. And we are the hearts of the people of the heart
Supported by the outpouring from the Bestower

22. Through us Allah poured out the secret of His love
And supported our party in His unseen realm

23. So the tumult of revelation is in our abode
And we took the Law from our grandfather

24. And we are the blazing suns of heroism
Circumambulating the sanctuaries and that which is bowed

25. So all glories are in our branches
And all prides are from our origin

26. And the rule of miracles is among our people
And the spreading of realities is from our knowledge

27. So if you are of the people of spiritual aspiration
Seek nearness through us and seize our covenant

28. For we do not disappoint whoever makes a pact with us
And our signs will stand forever after us

29. So Allah does not disappoint whoever visits us
With sincerity, nor reject whoever seeks refuge with us

30. Our father, the Imam of guidance al-Murtada
And a part of the light of guidance, our mother

31. And the state of the Prophet of mankind is our state
And what he separated for people, we separated

32. Allah chose us from among the children of Adam
And exalted the most fragrant lineage through us

33. And taught us the knowledge of the hidden decrees
And wove the secret into our being

34. So we followed the way of Mustafa
And Allah supported us in our journey

35. So do not hope, among people, for a community
To attain the meanings of guidance but us

36. And rely on us in the knowledge of the path
And taste the drink of sincerity from our wine

37. For in our wine is the secret of the state of the Messenger
By the ruling of subsistence and the stage of annihilation

38. And beware distorting towards imperfect ones
If you are acting according to our command

39. For how many were severed and separated
From the path of firmness, so met debasement

40. And travel in the way of the exalted guides
To rise and come near like one who has come near

41. We advised you sincerely, take and benefit
For that advice is from us to us
