For the [spiritual] retreats, there are ultimate goals,

Whose ranks reach the furthest reaches of eternity.

Like the towers of the stars, within which

Their planets journey in perpetual duration.

And what makes you know what the Gates are?

Tell me! For those are among the magnificent Stations.

Branches whose roots are Mīm [Muhammad] and 'Ayn [Ali]

, Possessing a Sun in the Tihami region [Mecca/Hejaz].

It is the precious Soul and the firmly established

Location; its station is in the highest of ranks.

Through it, the Prayer is established, as is the giving

Of Alms, and through it, the paths of Fasting are guided.
