He is the Ancient, the Manifestor of His Light forever
To the servants, without father and without son.
The Essence is not partitioned, if you truly know it;
Rather, what you have beheld [manifestly] is the [only] Object of Worship forever.
Likewise, the Veil [Muhammad] is one single Name eternally,
Even if he is called by many names beyond count.
And the Gate [Salman] is also one single Gate eternally,
Even if he is called by names beyond the measure of time.
So return to the words of our Sublime Master [Ali],
And you shall attain guidance without toil or misery.
He [the Gate] is the path to the Great Allah, just as
Al-Husayn ibn Hamdan [al-Khasibi] was the 'Middle Path' (al-Muqtasad).
The light of this one and that one [the Name and Gate] shall never vanish,
If you are a person of intellect, seeking righteousness.
Then the Wasī (Successor/Ali), who gathered all sciences,
Just as he gathered courage and proximity to be the Criterion.
