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.
