1. Darkness was predestined
From ancient times and was depicted

2. And some of it was arranged over others
Thus it copied whatever came to free

3. And its name is the high and low existents
Perfect, no deficiency, no change

4. Revealer, where there is no beginning from it
The Light of Truth recognizes refusal

5. So it is by the Light and He is sheer existence
Absolute, free from its fetters, magnifying

6. And we have taken the Light that repels darkness
Immediately if it began to repel

7. Then we, when we saw Him the most enduring
Described it copied what was required frankly

8. And it is no doubt empty in reality
Old we said a famous saying

9. Your mercy encompassed all so
It had effect in their appearance impact

10. And they have here appearance but
He is hidden from them - by them He sees veiling

11. And He saw the laymen of people of the religion of God
The share of souls in them stirred

12. And we have here a true saying
My leaders have elucidated it

13. Only the visible which is not hidden
Is the Light of Truth, and take that as wise

14. And that which did not exist nor did it exist
The Light of the unseen shone in it

15. Darkness over Him in whom it is
Before, never ceased nor illumination

16. Rather, the Light alone it is manifest
In destined darkness predestined

17. So He sees Himself by our sight in
Everything - for that He was seeing

18. And we see ourselves through Him and He sees us
Also through us so He was Able

19. And we see Him by a vision that
Came to us - His promise heralded it

20. Then in the four levels He unveiled
This Light then borrowed

21. And it was characterized by levels and relations
So called many an intellect and senses

22. And if the investigator realizes this
And excludes equality from it - delusion

23. He said: attributes of our Lord and so the names
With the existents - sodiffused a fragrance

24. So He is their attributes and He is the Named
In their view by their consideration, affirming

25. And for this we say: those are eternal
And essence of the unmatched Entity

26. It is an essence characterized
And Named - religion's reverence

27. Then by canon law and reality we come
Evident, unseen, and no choice

28. And we say: that by which all have said
So we equalize the accomplished honest

29. They by their Lord have degrees
All - no disgrace, no contempt

30. And the wilds are two kinds: people of bliss
In gardens, and who see the Inferno

31. And whose heart is believing succeed
And other than him - ungrateful unbelief

32. Then people of gardens are two kinds: lower
Then higher - by it the preference is seen

33. And what was lost - that we are in
If he is believing in it, obedient - not

34. Refusing it, seeing it as mean
He is in the garden of bliss but

35. Does not see the loftiness and grave position
And if he is denying, outwardly Muslim

36. In canon law - meeting ease
And in reality's doctrine a person

37. Disbelieving, not seeing the morrow's ally
And by the reality's rule God in us

38. Is Judge - so tomorrow take refuge
And here is canon law - for regulating affairs of

39. People - fulfilling, warning and heralding
So seize what I tell you and know

40. And remember it - reminding
And discern my saying - it is advice

41. For you - it came so warned cautioning
