And [he was] Yayā’īl after that, and Hām,

And Biddān—these are the sublime names.

After all of this, they called him

Rūzbih, within the "Rūzbihite" group [the circle of Salman].

He is Salman, first and last;

All these names are "Salmanid" in essence.

[The Five Orphans:] To the Gate belong Five [Orphans] whom he chose;

They are the "Orphans" of his own Pleased Soul.

Through Miqdād—from whom the creation was fashioned—

I hope for the intercession of "Salsal" [Salman].

And Abū al-Dharr [Jundub] after him; then Abdullah [ibn Rawāḥa],

Who became the spirit of the pure hearts.

And Ibn Maz’ūn [Uthman], who struck down doubt from

Every seeker of truth, and who was the master of Taqiyya (pious dissimulation).

And the youth Qanbar; through him, the Five were completed;

These are the [celestial] Ranks of Light.
