1. عِلمُ التَصَوُّفِ لَيسَ يُد

    رَكُ بِالإِشارَةِ وَالعِبارَه

    Knowledge of Sufism is not

    grasped through allusion and expression,

  2. إِلّا لِقَلبٍ مُخلِصٍ

    بِالروحِ مُلقيها أَمارَه

    save by a sincere heart,

    offering its spirit as a token.

  3. فَجَلا اليَقينُ الظَنَّ عَن

    هُ بِحَقِّهِ وَجَلا غُبارَه

    Then certainty dispelled conjecture from

    it through its truth, and cleared away its dust.
