1. I saw the one who came from the land of Babylon
With true knowledge of love that admits no change

2. So I said to him, welcome, greetings and hello
He reciprocated with praise for all the worthy

3. Beware, the worst of people is the one who is unmarried
Even if he has the highest virtues among people

4. And none of God's servants remains unmarried
You ignorant one, do not blame me for what has passed

5. Consider the existence of the origin when He willed our being
Were you anything but between saying and speaker?

6. So He said "Be" to a thing and it became in its time
By command of God, nature acted upon it

7. So nurture me two years with bounty and favor
Completely so I can grow upon all perfection

8. So He paired me, and did not leave me single
With His two years of bounty, every high and low

9. And my Fatimah was nothing but my nature
To take knowledge from Him without any barrier

10. She weaned me while love rules over her
Over me, with constant affection beyond change

11. So there is none but the lover of his own essence
Generally and particularly for every rational being

12. If I had no witness but my own upbringing
In the most excellent image, that would suffice the questioner

13. Through it, the names come to Him in realization
And my names accept His just governance

14. When He called me "young man" I answered Him
Through it, in the gathering of an unsevered connection

15. The Merciful has sworn between me and him
Prayers, despite the noses of the early ones

16. So I performed them, and knowledge testifies that I
Through them, am among the superior and the excellent

17. So he spoke and we spoke, and discourse is plentiful
Name me the worst of discourses that have descended

18. The Merciful has apportioned nothing but His speech
We speak what is recited without fighting

19. With this, the word "servant" came regarding it because He
Is jealous, negating any likeness to Himself

20. As it came in Surat Ash-Shura, and in it take heed
For every intelligent one present and connected

21. I wished to gain nearness to Him, but He said
Wish for His judgment, it cannot be obtained

22. And whoever draws near Him finds other than himself
A brother of knowledge is not like an ignorant one

23. Had those who see known what they were seeing
And in what they saw, they would not have won goals

24. But imaginations did not leave them
With their judgments, between fading and bleak

25. So He gives you asceticism for the fading
When it appears as achiever, not delayed

26. Be careful, for fancy has spread its nets
Seeking nothing but oblivious souls

27. So do not covet love, for it is deception
I see you walking in the ropes of a roper

28. For that, asceticism is the noblest adornment
Which adorns the heart of the brave warrior
