تستر ناسوتي بناسوت أهبه

فبانت رسومي لما بان قناعه

My human nature is clothed in a human nature I bestowed

So my traits appeared when its mask appeared

تحولت غيري في تغمض أينه

وصرت خليلا عاد ظلي شعاعه

I was transformed though another’s blink

And became an intimate friend when its shadow radiated

فإن كنت عينا فلست بموجود

وإن لم تكن عينا فأنت ارتفعه

So if you are an eye then I do not exist

And if you are not an eye then you are exalted

فلست بموجود ولست بمعدوم

وإني موجود وفيّ الطباعه

I do not exist and I do not not-exist

Yet I exist and creation is inherent in me

وإني معدوم فما ذقت لذة ال

وجود على وفق التضاد اختراعه

And I do not exist so I have not tasted the delight of

Existence according to the invention of contradiction

وإن ذقت طعم الجمع للضد عندما

تخالفت الأعيان أنت امتناعه

And if I tasted the flavor of combining opposites when

Essences differed, you are its prevention

كما ذقت رفعا للنقيضين عندما

أماط سحاب الغين أنت اجتماعه

Just as I tasted raising opposites when

You, the removal of obscurity, are its combination

فإنك إن حققت وهما فمل إلى

أولي الأمر أهل الله منهم سماعه

So if you validate an illusion then turn

To the custodians, the people of God, among them is its hearing

فكله شرك فاخلع نعليك إنك

بحضرة قدس فيك ود سواعه

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

فطهر بماء اليم كلك وانسلخ

عن الكون منه فيه منك انقطاعه

So purify yourself completely with Zamzam water and strip

Yourself of the universe, in it and from you is its cessation

جلاليبك الأكوان فامح وجودنا

وعند زوزال الطهر يبدو ارتفاعه

Unclothe it of the universes so erase our existence

And upon the quaking of purity its elevation appears
