    Beware of seeing another beside me.

  8. وصِفاتِي

    أثبتُّ مِنْهَا صفاتكْ

    And my attributes—

    From them I established your attributes.

  9. وَحَياتِي

    جَعَلْتُ مِنْها حياتكْ

    And my life—

    From it I made your life.

  10. حَرَكَاتِي

    بَقُدْرتِي لا بِذاتَك

    My movements

    Are by my power, not by your own essence.

    إِذَا فَهِمْتَ الْمَعانِي

    I am you,

    If you understand the meanings.

    لَسْ ثَمَّ حَدْ أمَامِي

    I alone am;

    There is no one before me.

    نُقْرِيهْ أنَا لِي سَلامِي

    And my greeting—

    I myself convey my greeting to myself.

  15. وَأشْ ما نَسْمَعْ

    ما نسْمعْ إِلاَّ كَلاَمِي

    And whatever I hear,

    I hear nothing but my speech.

    مِن خَلْفِ هَذِي الأواني

    I speak

    From behind these vessels.

  17. وأنَا دايمْ

    كُلُّ الأوانِ أوانِي

    And I am everlasting;

    All time is my time.

  18. احذرْ أيْنَك

    إِيَّاكْ يَغُرُّكْ مِثالَكْ

    Beware of where you are;

    Beware lest your likeness deceive you.

  19. وظهوركْ

    كانَ السببْ في زَوالكْ

    And your appearing

    Was the cause of your vanishing.

  20. نَصْبُ عَيْنَك

    يَلْعَبْ بصُورَةْ خَيالَكْ

    Before your eyes,

    He plays in the form of your phantom.

  21. إِذَا يَصْعَدِ

    الْمَا لِرُوسِ السَّوانِي

    When it rises—

    The water—to the tops of the waterwheels,

  22. يَلْوِي هَابِطْ

    وَهُ يقُولْ مَنْ ثَنانِي

    It turns, descending,

    And says: Who turned me back?

  23. ولاَ يَصْعَدْ

    إِلاَّ لشمْسٍ مُضِيَّا

    Nor does it rise

    Except toward a radiant sun;

  24. ولا يَغْرُبْ

    إِلاَّ في عَيْنِ حَمِيتَّا

    Nor does it set

    Except in a hot spring.

  25. رِيتو راجع

    وهُ يُرَجِّعْ شَجِيَّا

    I saw him returning,

    While he chanted mournfully.

  26. قُلْت لُو إِبكي

    واهْرِقْ دُمُوعَكْ هَتَانِ

    I said to him: Weep,

    And pour out your tears in torrents.

  27. بِدُمُوعكْ

    تَصْعَدْ لِحُورِ الْجِنانِ

    Through your tears

    You will ascend to the houris of Paradise.
