Spiritual unveiling (al-Kashf) is to emerge beyond the veil in such a manner that the practitioner of unveiling perceives that which his mind could never have previously grasped."

Say "Allah," and leave existence and all it contains,

If you desire to attain ultimate perfection.

For everything besides Allah, if you verify its reality,

Is sheer non-existence, both in its details and its totality.

This existence—even if it appears multiple on the surface—

By your lives, there is nothing within it except You!

The Face is but one, except that it appears multiple

When you multiply the number of mirrors.

The Sorrows of the Imprisoned (Shujun al-Masjun):

"And know that we have found the Divine Essence (al-Dhat al-Ilahiyyah) to be entirely transcendent above having any correlation or structural attachment to the cosmos, creation, or the celestial command (al-Amr) by any modality whatsoever. We found that the Most Beautiful Names (al-Asma' al-Husna) manifested throughout the entire universe through an intrinsic, hidden manifestation; they reside within it through their structural traces and cosmic rulings (bi-athariha wa-ahkamiha), not through their absolute essences."
