My human nature is clothed in a human nature I bestowed

تستر ناسوتي بناسوت أهبه

1. My human nature is clothed in a human nature I bestowed
So my traits appeared when its mask appeared

١. تستر ناسوتي بناسوت أهبه
فبانت رسومي لما بان قناعه

2. I was transformed though another’s blink
And became an intimate friend when its shadow radiated

٢. تحولت غيري في تغمض أينه
وصرت خليلا عاد ظلي شعاعه

3. So if you are an eye then I do not exist
And if you are not an eye then you are exalted

٣. فإن كنت عينا فلست بموجود
وإن لم تكن عينا فأنت ارتفعه

4. I do not exist and I do not not-exist
Yet I exist and creation is inherent in me

٤. فلست بموجود ولست بمعدوم
وإني موجود وفيّ الطباعه

5. And I do not exist so I have not tasted the delight of
Existence according to the invention of contradiction

٥. وإني معدوم فما ذقت لذة ال
وجود على وفق التضاد اختراعه

6. And if I tasted the flavor of combining opposites when
Essences differed, you are its prevention

٦. وإن ذقت طعم الجمع للضد عندما
تخالفت الأعيان أنت امتناعه

7. Just as I tasted raising opposites when
You, the removal of obscurity, are its combination

٧. كما ذقت رفعا للنقيضين عندما
أماط سحاب الغين أنت اجتماعه

8. So if you validate an illusion then turn
To the custodians, the people of God, among them is its hearing

٨. فإنك إن حققت وهما فمل إلى
أولي الأمر أهل الله منهم سماعه

9. For all of that is idolatry so take off your slippers
You are in the presence of a holy one, in you is his friendship

٩. فكله شرك فاخلع نعليك إنك
بحضرة قدس فيك ود سواعه

10. So purify yourself completely with Zamzam water and strip
Yourself of the universe, in it and from you is its cessation

١٠. فطهر بماء اليم كلك وانسلخ
عن الكون منه فيه منك انقطاعه

11. Unclothe it of the universes so erase our existence
And upon the quaking of purity its elevation appears

١١. جلاليبك الأكوان فامح وجودنا
وعند زوزال الطهر يبدو ارتفاعه
