أكور بها حقاً إذا هو لم يكر
When the sun of annihilation, which is wisdom, rises,
When the sun of oblivion rises and shines
I enfold the Real with it, if He has not been enfolded
I will rightly veil it, if it does not veil itself

Yet in essence for those of true perception

It is complete with the verse's word in chapters clear
