1. From whence comes the insight of Saad and Razi
In what we attempt of analysis and demonstration

2. They speak of the comprehension of their minds
In God, structuring edifices with plaster

3. A group who confronted the sea of Sacred Law with
The claim of souls, so they obtained filled goblets

4. And some transmit from others and hoard what
Is narrated, so they are among transmitters and hoarders

5. Until when they understood the words of those before
And analyzed them with prolongation and concision

6. The supreme critics said: we are, so who
Can equal us, and where is the owl and the buzzard

7. Like bread sellers, not knowing the dough, nor
The grinding of flour, nor the ovens of bakers

8. Except taking up loaves with arranging
And selling to others in Syria and Ahwaz

9. And we surpassed them, so our insides were filled
By it without stint

10. And the Truth faced us in all our senses apprehended
Then we had no need of preparation

11. And the blindness of ignorance departed from us by its
Rising over us while they are prisoners of obscurity and riddles

12. And we spoke of the manifest victory and of
The speech of existence, not a vain discourse

13. For us is the reality, secret of the unseen we unveil
It from the meanings that are in the folds of the miracle

14. Through poverty we stood at the doors of the Glory of Him
From whom we proceeded by ordainment and separation

15. Like lightning we gleam from the directing of His power
Depicting through it in it with obtaining

16. And Saad attains and Razi and the like of them
Rigidity of what they are in, like the foolish babbler

17. And the Truth veils them from it by their selves
Confined by titles and high names

18. And their matter from it is distinguished by what they claimed
And our matter from it is not distinguished

19. Suspended by it in all our states
We resort to it with honor and exaltation

20. And they think what they are in is pure guidance
And other than it words of oscillation and blame

21. And their knowledge a drop from our knowledge they mixed
With it the discourses of the extravagant of religion, mocker

22. From the opinion of the foolish falsified philosophy
Which perished by the sword of Islam that shook it

23. The theology they sold and bought with
Much speech, sale of a grocer

24. The predecessors indeed prohibited it, yet they
Did not refrain where there is no militaristic incursion

25. If there were no scriptural sources in it
Its statements would become words of slanderers

26. And they named it Principles of Religion, since for them
In it are scriptural probative discourses

27. And the religion- what is its origin but the Book and what
Is in the Sunna of the Chosen One, promises of fulfillment

28. So take from God what the Book came with
Of tenets, alongside your piercing faith

29. And that by which the Radiant Sunna has come
Upon their object, the certainty of conquest

30. You obtain the meaning of the Principles of Religion, all of them
And you rest from speech wherein is discord
