1. I heard that creatures have no existence,
Yet I believe that existence for them is real.

2. When I witnessed the matter from Him,
I saw that the appearance of creatures is created.

3. So their outer and inner selves are equal,
And this is one of its subtle meanings.

4. Subtleties from entities extended,
And in those subtleties I have something subtle.

5. I knew through it that I am nothing,
Even if my nature opposes me.

6. And you have written for me in this book,
And explained the matter in that document.

7. God truly has in my existence matters,
That confuse the one heading towards the path.

8. Matters that the Most Merciful has concealed,
Wondrous intrigues of the elegant deceiver.

9. It has a far, deep ravine that none knows,
So the wise one said: It is the elite.
