so that he who perished might perish upon a clear evidence and he who lived might live upon a clear evidence, and His, the Exalted, saying: [ [He said], "Seek refuge in God that we should take except him with whom we found our possession.]1 And our master al-Khasibi already said in some of his poems:

As a trial, a test, and a concealment, So that the intellects may become sound therein, Thus they are recompensed with what they deserve, And an authentic favor comes to them.

So strive in the worship of God openly, O Khasibi, before the departure arrives, Or do you see that your Gnosis delivers you, A salvation by which there is a request for your soul?

So praise God, the praise of one who recognized God, And call out among the creation while they are heedless: "Listen, understand, and be diligent, for a glory Has indeed strived with you and a hasty one urged."

And this is also a reminder for the believers so that the person takes heed for his soul and awakens it from the sleep of heedlessness and the slumber of ignorance.
