O You who veiled Himself from the eyes of His creation through His manifestation, and guided them to the knowledge of Him through His presence.
My Master, indeed Your manifestation among Your creation is a mercy for the believers and a torment upon the doubters, the disbelievers, the deniers.
You have transcended, O my Master, O Prince of the Bees, O Ali, O Great One, above what the creatures viewed You with, and You are purified above what the understandings grasp of You.
O You who appeared in what He appeared in, so He was not [confined] to a manifestation He appeared in a likeness nor a peer. And He was hidden in what He was hidden in, so there was no limit nor end for Him in what He was hidden in His interiority (Butun). So He appeared without ceasing or transition.
O Allah, I ask You, O our Master, O Prince of the Bees (Amir al-Nahl), O Ali, O Great One, by Your Essence Manifestations and Your Muhammadan Names, that You send blessings upon the Intended Light connected to You without separation, and upon the Great Radiance divided from the Shining Specter (al-Shabah al-Lami‘).
