1. With pleading ambition, leaving behind the claim of attainment, so
No man ever succeeded by the claim of attainment, so

2. I have not seen a people for them the claim of reaching
The Master of masters whose generosity has encompassed them

3. And from Him they turned back, intentionally for themselves
They manage with it pleasures and pains

4. And nothing in them except the claim of attainment, and they
Lived with it in excessive delusion and blindness

5. And God, they did not attain God if they turned back
And how can one return who in the presence has vanished?

6. And after vanishing, his essence
Moved to the unseen reality from which he was concealed

7. And it became what it became, which I cannot utter
A light that made lights and darkness cease to be

8. For He is the real existence and the rest is nonexistence
A sovereignty that surrounded the Lord who knew

9. And with what He knew in ancient knowledge, indeed
The Truth spoke until He brought forth the word

10. And the matter "Be," so it becomes, all creation
In every blink of an eye, a flashing annihilation

11. Leave claims and stand broken at the door
Perhaps the gatekeeper will accept you, if he shows mercy

12. And do not vie with anyone to attain wishes
And know that the decree of God has become binding

13. And all are from Him, and none other than Him, so leave
Your ignorance and abandon that delusion
