That is the son of al-Khasibi—may Allah bless him

In the Holy Realm, in the most exalted station.

Then follow with the Huti and my Sheikhs

From the lineage of Numayr, who mastered the meanings of speech.

For they are my preparation, my treasure, and my pride; Through them are my sovereignty and my order.

Since I declared the Oneness of Him who appeared as an Imam,

And like the Veil (Muhammad), that is my sanctuary.

For He is my Lord, my Master, and my King;

My Guardian, my Creator, and my Imam.

I strip away from His attributes the Inwardness of the Essence— The Director of the cycles and the eternities.

My Lord, I profess the faith of the 'Ain (Ali) and the 'Mim' (Muhammad),

And toward the 'Sin' (Salman) is my purpose and my aim.
