1. I see the followers pursuing their predecessors
In the path of him whom they followed in judgment and state

2. And this is no secret to them
It is made clear by the stations of men

3. When I saw the existence of my eyes
With the eye of my heart in the darkness of nights

4. I prostrated to our Lord in meaning and sensation
The prostration of the heart or the eye of shadows

5. And I did not raise up what my self gives
Of the lowly reaching the lofty

6. And the far joining the near
And the foremost showing the outcome

7. And I said to Him, my heart has prostrated
To my heart like glass with the lofty

8. And my existence spoke to me but refused
To accept its speech for the soundness of my state

9. For I did not know in what manner
It addresses me, so it said, from asking

10. So I said, I learned that you are my answerer
To the extent of my question with explaining my state

11. For I want nothing but my refuge
In the sweetness of attachment and attainment

12. O people, fear your Lord.
The earthquake of the Hour is a tremendous thing.

13. The disbeliever fears it in his disbelief
Like the pious fears it.

14. And if I speak about it with what
I know, I would be the Knowing, the Wise.

15. And if we concealed it and did not reveal it
To the eye, I would be the Apportioner, the Generous.

16. The matter is dependent on His will
To be removed from the eye of the deprived worthless one.

17. So the matter will appear in its rulings
Appearing attributed with the attribution of the Apportioner.
