1. When I mention God in the dusk of night
The body's dusk when dawn first appears

2. Dawn when the body comes alive
It is the soul but with a sluggish disposition

3. So it doesn't take things from itself
But with instruments through which its secret was guided

4. So it became poor after having been wealthy
And became a slave after having been a master

5. It had made him a generous, pure soul
So he became a vulgar, embodied wind

6. And he was a companion to the supreme elders
With a seat of truth, supporting souls

7. He had in them dignity and awe
But when he wore the earthly body he disputed

8. And it flowed for him a river of delicious wine
But when he tasted a sip of it, he was confused

9. And he had above the heavens a scene
But when he saw the lowly earth he settled

10. And when the revelation came to him, he would prostrate
He used to be described and became descriptive

11. Just as he had an intention and became intended
As he had a promised attained from Him

12. He became, in what is attained from Him, a unifier
And in the world of distance I saw

13. I saw for him in the presence of nearness a seat
And when He manifested from those manifested by His attributes

14. I saw them bow down crying and prostrate
And a revelation from God came to them unconscious

15. So when they regained consciousness I said what happened
There afflicted them in the state of their essence

16. And the perfumer will not fix what time has corrupted
So I said did you recognize me among their convoy

17. He said does a servant become blackened
I made you in the land of My creation My deputy

18. And clothed in prestige whoever called upon you and sought refuge
And I made my angels prostrate, and they were

19. Leaders of your lofty position, so you became a place of worship
I forbade you from something yet you approached it and did not

20. Find in yourself resolve when we saw what appeared from you
And you stood for them with a clear excuse

21. I settled for you an eternal, settled abode
As He said who seduced you, not knowing

22. What He said when He said a steady saying
And he passed with loss to his essence's creation

23. The treasures of a lamp in darkness ignited
It illuminates vision and burns itself

24. By a divine command that came to it but did not transgress
