1. I witnessed the One who spread the earth out as a carpet
The witness of an Imam whose rule judged the Throne

2. I was passionately in love with Him so my eyelids kept vigil
And for the sake of my fervor, mercy dwelt in the carpet

3. My witness of Him is with devotion, not otherwise
For the sake of the One who sanctified that we hold the carpet dear

4. Elders among the people I met in Him
So they were like a roof for us and I was their carpet

5. Firm-willed leaders, reverent shepherds
He was revealed to them in us and in the soft carpet

6. Their motto is oneness, they seek His nearness
With it, while polytheism is what the blind poet claimed

7. Similar to them is he whose life was long
And in the intermediate realm, the known one when night falls

8. I braced myself against them after revering their status
And I did not fear estrangement from Him nor did I dread

9. I braced myself against the One from whose drink is the sweetness
That gives its drinker directly a intoxication that covers

10. I sensed from Him a scent of fragrant musk
Informing me in this state which intoxicates
