1. إن لله عباداً كلما

    ذكروا الله فنوا في ذكرهِ

    Indeed, God has servants who, whenever

    they remember God, are annihilated in remembrance of Him.

  2. وإلى هذا فهم ما أمنوا

    حال ذكراهم به من مكره

    Yet even so, they have not felt secure,

    during their remembrance through Him, from His stratagem.

  3. يبتغون الفضلَ منه عندما

    شكروا المنعمَ حقَّ شُكره

    They seek bounty from Him when

    they thank the Benefactor as He deserves to be thanked.

  4. زهد العارف منهم في الذي

    أثبتَ العقلُ له من فكرِه

    The gnostic among them has renounced what

    reason affirmed for him through its reflection

  5. من إله قرَّر الكشفَ له

    إنه المعبودُ حالُ نكره

    as a god; unveiling confirmed for him

    that He is the One worshipped in his state of unknowing.

  6. يظهر الحقُّ له في صحوه

    عين ما أثبته في سكره

    The Real appears to him in his sobriety

    as precisely what he affirmed in his intoxication.
