1. رويداً أيها النفس المراشَهْ

    بأجنحة ضعاف كالفراشَهْ

    Gently, O feathered soul,

    with frail wings, like a moth.

  2. إذا رأت الوجود رمت عليه

    لتحرق نفسها تبغي رشاشه

    When it sees existence, it hurls itself upon it,

    to burn itself, seeking its spray.

  3. كمن في ظلمة خلتوا فنالوا

    ورش عليهم النور انتقاشه

    Like those [created?] in darkness, who received—

    as light was sprinkled upon them—its imprint.

  4. به الخبر الصحيح أتى إلينا

    عن المختار فاغتنموا معاشه

    An authentic report of this has reached us

    from the Chosen One; so avail yourselves of its sustenance.
