1. The innermost is manifest
The manifest is subduer of the inner

2. The first of firsts, second
The last of lasts, evident

3. And He who affirmed being
And made nothingness unskilled

4. This is an intoxication of one awake
From a drink that is pure

5. Say not He is this
Your saying conceals the jewels

6. He is this, none other
In the eyes of one wakeful

7. And he who sleeps sees in
His sleep the evident specter

8. So he tells of a fantasy
Like one born of a whore
