1. The letters in the number bear witness
They have meanings and secrets for whoever observes

2. The first matter in our loftiness is Alif
And speech denies it is a letter, as you see

3. Ibn Haban said in his method
That it is half a letter, so he mentioned

4. And its second half is a hamzah in the eye of its writer
This is how I saw an explicit text for it, and where can it be seen

5. Like it in the origins of the science from which it came
From Ja'far, and with this art he became famous

6. And speech denies what he said about Alif
And did not seek dispute or saw it as feasible

7. And it is my doctrine if you follow me
But he established it in consideration, read!

8. In it is all that your hunters have caught
Of letters for whoever I taught its merit

9. So hamzah cuts off lovers if abandoned
And in the union of the beloved there is news for it

10. Ba works in the marriage contract if
Written in a manner adorned with ink

11. And ta brings the beloved together if
The beloved distances or intends travel

12. And tha affirms the watcher's state if
The beloved comes after having abandoned

13. And jim acts in the circumstances of its composer
Surely distinguishing him when fate flows

14. And ha seeks exoneration for its writer
One day when he becomes an object of simile and blame

15. And kha elevates through every rank
Until the writer fulfills his duty

16. And dal in all the doer intends works
For it the fulfillment and great or small matter

17. And dhal in the beloved's presence has a foot
So whenever he seeks precedence he sees behind

18. And ra connects him at times and gladdens him
With all he seeks, so he contends with fate

19. And zay gathers scattered states
As we have seen in our deeds apparent

20. And ta seeks the implementation of matters for it
So look and see the wonder if you contemplate

21. And tha gives the servant success in ranks
That mean authority, and sun and moon

22. And kaf for a worried one if written
Relief of worries in all that he commands

23. And lam is a shield for it in which he fortifies himself
From all evil and hated matter

24. And mim quenches who was thirsty
Of knowledge with this measure, so he prided himself

25. And nun moves with the heavens, its shape
To attain the image of a desired female

26. And sad is a strong light in its radiance
For what it has of it in its hidden affairs

27. And dad is like sad except its position
Is lower so class it with the rank of minister

28. And 'ain is like jim except its shape
In action is stronger in manifestation, so contemplate

29. And ghayn is like 'ain except it stands for it
The eye of clouds that does not carry rain

30. And fa is like ba in conjugation and it is in it
More complete in action, so it is distinct from sight

31. And qaf works in opposites if written
West and east, so be deliberate in state

32. And sin protects from the evil imagining
Of a weak soul if a person has that fancy

33. And shin is like ta except in it is harm
Known to who has the arbitration and lesson

34. And ha does varied causes
And in it for whoever seizes it is effect

35. And waw reveals what intellects conceal
And I have not seen for it in its concealment news

36. And ya is supreme so nothing resembles it
Except He who inscribed the signs and surahs

37. And lam when neighboring alif
Comes to you with the notables of creation in groups

38. The knowledge of letters is noble, nothing compares to it
The knowledge of existence for whoever strives or labors

39. It has been said: Its erudite scholar is spiritual
And is not described, for he is unlimited

40. Were it not for the covenants I have taken
I would reveal from it sciences that dazzle humanity

41. Of its mysteries, but we have been permitted
What consideration infers from it that stuns the mind

42. So whoever wants to see its secrets, will see
In consideration for it if pictured pictures

43. And I have not seen one who possessed them a peer
Except ibn Mansur al-Hallaj, so he became famous

44. From him with his compilation in that
The people's talk has been long, not short
