1. Circles of illusions, with which thought is preoccupied
Its appearance is a creation, and its essence is a command

2. Revelations of Mevlana, they are an expression of it
Came to us from Al-Bakri radiantly pure

3. We understood through them when we understood their words
And in our words the pearls of its sea became clear

4. That knowledge is a dot of the silent letter in perceiving
It is the cup and the divine secret is the wine

5. The silent letter is nothing but the pronounced letter in essence internally
As externally in attribution both were mentioned

6. The station of the verified is like the elevated sun
And the rank of expressing it is the moon

7. Nothing has moved in the sky from the sun to the moon
But the diffusion of light has been spread to it

8. The otherness of beings is a creation because they
In their vanishing appearance are the numerous deceit

9. And their lasting essence which is One
Guidance, where there is no increase or decrease

10. And there is nothing but the imagining power a divine presence
From which the secret and openness appeared

11. It manifested as it willed and willed as it knew
And knows as the command gives itself in its essence

12. So its essence is unseen and no essence is hoped for it
He directed it and it is the sea

13. What dissolved in the waves, sea, did not
Unite with it, but those are for it the land

14. Nor did it dissolve in it, as it had no existence apart from it
And it has a foreordained quantity from it

15. He is the Truth and the universes existed through Him for Him
As imaginative forms are preserved by thought
