1. Concealing a secret by revealing it
Is like a wave attributed to its water

2. Not everything people say is a symbol or
A gesture made with a wave

3. It is explicit to them, apparent
From the first letter to the last

4. Apply their terminology, whoever
Knows it gains from its tidings

5. Like grammar and morphology, their terminology
Known only to the adept of its people

6. So mingle with them and do not deny
To know the cure of a person from his illness

7. And socialize with them to know them and do not
Seek that a dead person comes to life

8. For the people of God are light and will not
A person see light with his darkness

9. And leave the matter to its people
Who is tested knows his afflictions

10. They are people whose Lord has preoccupied them
Their minds intoxicated by His splendors

11. Whoever knows God, that is who
Knows them, established by His names

12. And whoever associates with a lover knows him
In his concealment of the secret and its expression

13. None knows longings except one who
Suffered them in his core

14. And every people has one guided
And one misguided, the rule of his consequence

15. This one adorned for them and that one ugly for them
So take each by its parts
