1. When Truth came to me at night conversing,
Showing me humility through struggle,

2. And suckled me on the breast of existence in realization,
I was not weaned, nor was I suckling,

3. I did not kill the Copt, but warned him
With my knowledge, so places were not confined for me,

4. And I did not slaughter children out of tyranny,
Nor did a wicked one come with my severity, uplifted,

5. I was as Moses, except I am a mercy,
To my people, so sucklings were not forbidden me,

6. I hinted at matters - if their affair were realized,
Useful knowledge with your Lord would appear to you.
