1. I clothed him in the robe of Sufism
Though he had no inclination towards it

2. Since he knew the decorum
Of the times and proper etiquette

3. I clothed him after he had risen
Above the station of taking and begging

4. And the universe was protected by his care
And knowledge and discipline were instilled

5. So one such as this I clothed in my robe
As it was a robe of distinction
