1. Say to the happy star before me
About two crescent moons rising before me

2. So if they both face towards me
You would be the secret of my nights and days

3. And if they turn away, I remain alone
Sleepless, unable to taste the flavour of sleep

4. That is the light of existence, truly hastening
Behind me, with it and before me

5. The day of my poverty and resurrection before my Lord
And in it is my determination and my concern

6. Indeed my secret and indeed the secret of my beloved
One first and at the conclusion

7. It is other than me when I send a messenger
And it is my abode in the sanctuary of my system

8. My servant, my light that was with me
And that which faces whom I loved before me

9. O my brother, so turn to your state and see
To my existence with your overlooking eye

10. It is other when we separate before me
And when we gather, I am before me
