1. They left us, which people left us
And embarked upon ships of souls

2. And saw our worn garment in ruins
And clung to the people of appearances

3. They embarked on illusions about their opinions
If only when they embarked they had not embarked

4. Their souls mingled with souls of their kind
The kind was corrected, for it the interwoven

5. They were ignorant of us due to clear difference
And saw our path so they staggered

6. We are the verses with meanings of guidance
And upon us in the wilds is decay

7. We are God's secret in this existence
And for us in every secret is partnership

8. Whose heart guidance touched his hand
He is busy with us, immersed

9. And whoever fought us, fought us
As the insightful witness said

10. The groups made one saying of their Lord
And saw others so in ignorance associated

11. Whoever sees strangers in their deeds
He undoubtedly is the distant associator

12. We believed in Him who imaged us
So let him know how the orbit was set spinning

13. Our Shaykh, the succoring Rifa’i, who
His path is the pith of guidance and devotion

14. Repaired to Taha, so he came to us as guide
To a path in which the anklets shone

15. So we followed him in his tracks, and
The shackles were removed from our venerated necks

16. And at the pinnacle of loftiness our compilation
With the guardians of sanctuaries interlinked

17. We worship God and do not worship one
Whom their lifetime destroys or they are destroyed

18. The ornaments of words blinded their sights
So they became blind and led astray, rather ruptured

19. He claimed mastery in spite of destiny
Eyes in which blindness is interlinked

20. Their inadequacy, were it not for destiny in their slipper
Is evident if the interlink is removed from it

21. The kingdom of my Lord, in it He is Master
In spite of those who were ruled or ruled

22. The foot of God transcended limitation
Our ancient King, Majestic, Master
