1. This existence as you see it was not
Except God in the past and hostage to the future

2. And if it varied in its manifestations its essence
Is unified in its components

3. Remaining for eras like its remaining
Before and that is its life like my life

4. My age is millions of eons beyond counting
Before me and in its verses are my verses

5. My age is the infinity that does not end
Its account or end to its attributes

6. In it life and death alternate
Like twins so death is not my death

7. So why speak of attributes that have
No origin but illusions and stumbling blocks

8. The universe is nothing but another universe
Except the scope veiled from my sights

9. Time vouched for its father as a declaration of it
As did science as its ally and supporter

10. And creation in it changes and renews
And multiplies with scattered factors

11. This divinity in essence so say to those
In illusion philosophizing their ignorance of the essence

12. Make it easy on yourself for all that is and will be
Its past is the orbit of the future
