1. He is the sanctified stream, like a torrent that smashes
So the heart cannot conceal that

2. It flowed in the channels of the soul from the presence of the Most High
So we met its breeze, and the heart is enamored

3. Thus we cast it into poetry at times with our words
And we cast it into prose for one who understands

4. We relieve ourselves of what we suffer from its impact
For its control is overwhelming and overpowering

5. It makes us vanish at times and at others makes us firm
And we through it are in bliss and comfort

6. Oh what a morning the words of one who spoke before us
To Him in the evening we say to fulfill

7. And not everyone who has spoken is of every speaker
Except the unseen who speaks from us

8. He is the evident, known in every evident
He is the hidden, unknown to one who does not know

9. We knew Him, not that we knew Him as we knew
Others besides Him, and otherness in Him ceases to exist

10. Far, far removed, the eternal existence cannot
Be indicated by our knowing and translated
