1. If the Generous God knew my innermost being,
Then I care not what others think, should they scorn me.

2. My station with the Guardian is assured,
So I care not who today draws near or turns away.

3. Wondrous is the knower who claims
He hopes for love from God, but does not act cleanly.

4. He has turned from his Lord and his thoughts about us
Have soured. When will he realize and correct his mistake?

5. Since my Intimate has shown me His hidden kindness,
The words of slanderers cannot make me slip.

6. But my Lord has come to me, so I have come to Him
And said to my secret self, “You are the final end.”

7. Do not heed those who think ill of us. Do not
Turn to them. Overlook disgraceful excess.
