1. Indeed, existence is the existence of the Truth, we have
No place in it, if I mean it

2. I bear witness to Him, and the Truth testifies to me
I witness Him in what I am

3. So the universe has only what it witnesses
And as for being attributed with any meaning

4. Therefore through Him I become, outwardly, knowledge
And inwardly pain from what afflicts me

5. Between me and you is a covenant you established
A law that came to us, so we fulfill it and accomplish it

6. Thus, the eye does not see anything it imagines
Except, at that moment, He hides and protects it

7. So I do not perceive the reality of anything
And how can I perceive it, while you are in it

8. Rather, His eye, and thus evidence stood for you
Against me definitively, so disclose it and conceal it

9. And I did not know this matter from my side
But from the words I heard from the One in it

10. For it is the essence of my speech when I speak to you
With the tongue, and this amount suffices

11. I conceal matters from its realities
Clarifications, for a matter that pleased Him

12. Who and what then, other than the One, so I endure
From Him what from me endures it

13. My longing is intense, and the Truth's longing is greater than
My longing, so it came in what He was revealing

14. I am His deputy David, and more brilliant than
What was in the Grip of the Merciful displaying it

15. The winds of generosity blew upon us from a generosity
That came with His messengers at His manifestation

16. So the liberated knower attained it from books
With what would be upon it from its preparations

17. If it was in company, the state would shame it
Thus, it is seen inclined to its isolation

18. The ignorant one who affirms it for others
And openly contests it

19. And if he knew I possess it by inheritance
He would stand from a limit for the light extinguishing it

20. So we have no stratagem we hope for salvation through
Except to ask the One who overwhelmed him to guide him
