1. The West has the heights of glory, and we have the East
Yet between us there is no difference in our essence

2. Does the name Mehdi distinguished in the world
Differ from Abdul Ghani except in lineage?

3. We both are one existence, an essence of One
To whom I am a lightning bolt, as He is a lightning bolt

4. And light is but fire in the eyes of the equitable
Fire can be extinguished by it, or cause burning

5. It is the sun behind a wall that rose
If a breach in it reveals it, a breach obscures it

6. I knocked on it with what concerns me of its affairs
As those affairs had their own ways to it

7. He is pleased with its secret, which is our secret
So He has granted us from it what the leaves sing
