1. Two threads - one white, which is existence
And the black non-existence, appearing and returning

2. Both are like the flash of lightning, manifest
To the knower of truth, for whom there is witnessing

3. The weaving of the Truth into the garment of His creation
His command casts forth into types of limitations

4. A lengthy, wide, expansive garment
Worn by the Truth upon us in the form of coolness

5. And there is nothing other than the white thread
Which is existence, the Real, from the dawn of pillars

6. And eating and drinking has been made lawful for us
So that we may see the whiteness from the thread of existence

7. For if we do see it, then no eating and no
Drinking, but the quality of the All-Sustaining Lord

8. Until the setting of His light from us and from
All that we see of white and black

9. Say with me: Blessed is God, to Whom
Belongs fasting, and through Whom delegates return

10. As the Chosen One narrated to us in the
Sacred hadith from the Lord, The Gentle Friend
