1. The veil upon us is the pupil of our image,
So if there is no escape, veil me with His image,
١. إنَّ الحجابَ علينا عينُ صورتِنا
فإذ ولا بدَّ فاحجبني بصورته
2. And do not descend into what I do not confess
After attaining the eye of His image.
٢. ولا تنزلن فيما لا أسرُّ به
من بعد ما نلتُ منه عينَ سُورته
3. If you are united with Truth in sight,
Then the servant is distinguished from Him in his inner sight.
٣. أنْ كنت مجتمعاً بالحقِّ في بصر
فالعبد يمتاز عنه في بصيرته
4. If He veiled him as you wish with it,
Then the Truth seeks him for his good conduct.
٤. لو كان يحجبه كما تشاءُ به
فالحقُّ يطلبه بحُسنِ سيرته
