1. The darkness of insight in souls causes
Their stumbling and falling due to their downfall
١. ظُلمُ البصيرة في النفوسِ مُسبِّبٌ
عَثَراتِها وعُثورُها لِسُقوطِها
2. And their downfall necessitates their demise
And their demise entails their descent
٢. وسُقوطُها مَندُوحةٌ لمماتِها
ومَماتُها مستلزمٌ لِهُبوطِها
3. And their descent averts their torment
And their torment elicits their despair
٣. وهُبوطُها مُتَدارِكٌ لِعَذابِها
وعَذابُها مُستدرِكٌ لِقُنوطِها
