1. My sun from my power in its rising
Has abolished every collection of mine at all times
١. إن شمسي من طاقتي في طلوعِ
كل وقت قد أعدمت مجموعي
2. And it too from all the energy of anything
Appears in it like flashing lightning
٢. وهي أيضاً من كل طاقة شيءٍ
تتجلى به كبرق لموع
3. Everything through it is transient and it is the truth
Apparent without peer in hearing
٣. كل شيء فانٍ بها وهي حقٌّ
ظاهر لا سواه في المسموع
4. O son of my people, people of understanding and O you
Who aspires to beginnings like my beginnings
٤. يا ابن قومي أهل الفهوم ويا من
يتوخى شروعه كشروعي
5. Take my words and realize the statement from it
Do not be among those deluded from it
٥. خذ كلامي وحقق القول منه
لا تكن أنت عنه بالمخدوع
6. Adam has not ceased being created
In the image of God in my submission
٦. لم يزل آدم وآدم مخلو
ق على صورة الإله خضوعي
7. The image of God, all His attributes with
All His names upon the intended
٧. صورة الله كل أوصافه مع
كل أسمائه على المشروع
8. And He is the One God in truth
In Him there is no multiplicity of collections
٨. وهي وهو الإله فرد حقيقيْ
ليس فيه تعدد للجموع
9. And upon Him Adam had been a veil
Concealing in his origins and branches
٩. وعليه قد كان آدم ستراً
حاجباً في أصوله والفروع
10. So know the veil, and it is you, and beware
What is behind the eye of your forbidden veil
١٠. فاعرف الستر وهو أنت وحاذر
ما ورا عين سترك الممنوع
