1. To whom have you escaped, or to whom
Do you escape, O seeker of escape?

2. If you have increased in knowledge,
I have decreased in knowledge.

3. We have a wisdom that has surpassed
The station of the avenger.

4. If the state is as we have mentioned,
How can we have an escape?

5. So I am a seeker of things
Whose end is the Refuge.

6. And we have known such things
Presented by the Refuge.
