That which follows what we have mentioned from this poem—of sublime knowledge and pearlescent phrasing—includes what he uttered concerning the knowledge of the Higher World (al-'Ālam al-'Alawī) after..."

mentioning the Master Veil (al-Sayyid al-Hijāb), followed by the rank of the Master Gate (al-Sayyid al-Bāb). Indeed, he—may Allah be pleased with him—presented in his poetry the mention of the Names and the Veils, person by person (shakhṣan shakhṣan) in every manifestation, with elegant phrasing and precise meaning.

Then he presented the mention of Lord Salman, the Gate of Guidance and Faith, and his special creation of the Orphans (al-Aytām)—the lights of every darkness and its radiance, the guides of the worlds and the masters of the two heavy things (humans and jinn). These are the Five Orphans; upon them be peace from their Master.

Furthermore, he presented the 'Persons' of the Prayer (al-Ṣalāt), including its obligatory (furūḍ) and traditional (sunan) aspects, person by person. Then he began the mention of the month of Ramadan, detailing the 'Persons' of its days and nights.
