1. Had it not been for an old servant of the Master
The secret would have become public

2. And I would have become just words
And been absent from everything

3. That appeared and manifested
Had it not been for the care of the All-Merciful's eye when He manifested

4. Had it not been for, had it not been for, had it not been for
The generosity that did not abandon me

5. Glory be to Him, the Most High
My Master, as long as I am your servant

6. For He knows
That I humbled myself completely

7. And He, as my Lord
Humility towards His servant is more appropriate

8. And that I, and He is my Lord
Am only a poor one, nothing but

9. And I am for Him, so be for me
O Lord, in word and deed

10. My Master, as long as I am deserving
So I will meet You as deserving

11. And I do not know a master
Other than Yourself as deserving

12. Nor virtue for other than You
And how can one possess virtue

13. Except through Your grace, my Lord
My Lord, Most High and Majestic

14. He is the Hopeful, the Generous
For what is subtle and majestic

15. At every instant and moment
As long as I possess words

16. And intimacy and passion alternate after separation
My Master, after me

17. There was nothing but imprint and murder
And my heart has been stripped

18. Of everything other than complete devotion
So be for Your servant, my Lord

19. As long as he is deserving of grace
And grant me success, greet and pray peace

20. My Master, purify and bless
