1. إذا ظَهَرْ نحن غبنا أو ظهرنا غابْ

    وجودُ حقٍّ بنا مثل الأسدْ في غابْ

    If He appears, we vanish; or if we appear, He vanishes.

    The Real’s existence in us is like the lion in a thicket.

  2. طوراً له ولنا طورا وجودُهْ نابْ

    عنا وعنه نشب منا ومنه نابْ

    At times for Him, and at times for us, His existence stands in—

    For us and for Him; a fang from us and from Him has become lodged.
