1. I do not love the self
It is prone to evil

2. Yet I love meaning
That makes it wholesome

3. The essence of beauty - who can describe it?
And beautiful meanings - known only to the gnostic

4. Leave the lowly behind
And rise up, O fearful one

5. With its garb you are clothed
When its mysteries become manifest

6. It is not something that fades away
If you know its measure

7. Leave behind the ephemeral
And rise up to the eternal

8. And become spiritual
In the domain of the Giver of Drink

9. Who gave me to drink
And filled my longing

10. And chose me
Since its moons appeared

11. So I witnessed beauty
Through its veil

12. O brother, for God,
Strive to love the Beloved

13. Do not be neglectful
While your self remains troubled

14. Leave the saying of the Godless
And remain not veiled

15. The Truth is a garden
In that which has sight

16. Whoever knew it flourished
And fulfilled its cycles

17. Dive into the sea of mysteries
O impoverished, natural one

18. All things are remembered
In your attributes gathered

19. The sun and the moon
In you set and rise

20. And the revolving sphere does not forget
That which set it in motion

21. And Hell and Heaven
That which developed them

22. O impoverished one, from me listen
You are the meaning of all things

23. And to your essence return
And behold the Living

24. Your path follow
And look not askance

25. O stranger who has come to evening
Fleeing from his abode

26. Enter in, O Living One, with us
And you will see its moons
