And I am the enemy of [the First], the [Second] of the impure body,

And the [Third]—the blind, the dark one.

Upon them be the curses of Allah, following one another Whenever a star shines in the darkness.

And upon those among creation who say they were with the Truth

Be the curse of the All-Knowing.

You, O Living One, are the dwelling of al-Jali’s hope

In his [Day of] Return and the resurrection of the bones.

Toward You he hopes, while the sin is feared;

For he has become both hopeful and fearful with great concern.

So secure him from fear by Your power and might,

And deliver him from those who seek worldly vanities."

"And he (al-Jali)—may Allah sanctify his soul and never turn us away from his path—has so much poetry regarding Monotheism (Tawhid) that if we were to include it all, the book would be far too long; our purpose here is brevity and conciseness.
