1. أنت في بالك خاطرْ

    فانمحى عنك وخاطرْ

    You are a passing thought in your own mind.

    So be effaced from yourself, and venture.

  2. وصلِ الجزءَ بكُلٍّ

    ثم كن للكل فاطر

    And join the part to a whole,

    Then be the originator of the whole.

  3. وانتشق زهر رياضي

    فبطيبي الكون عاطر

    And breathe in the blossoms of my gardens,

    For through my fragrance the universe is fragrant.

  4. وانتهض وارفع كفوفاً

    فسحاب الجود ماطر

    And rise, and lift your palms,

    For the cloud of bounty is raining.

  5. وإذا بان همام

    لك من ذاتك شاطر

    And if a valiant man appears

    To you from your own essence—a shrewd one—

  6. عدِّ عن سلسلة النف

    س وأغلال الخواطر

    Pass beyond the chain of the self

    And the fetters of thoughts.

  7. وتيقن أن سري

    حارس فيك وناظر

    And be certain that my secret

    Is a guardian within you, and a watcher.
