The reader: "Chapter: On explaining the sufficiency of the revelation sent down from the sky over the following of men and opinions
O seeker of the clear truth, and one who prefers *** the knowledge of certainty and the soundness of faith
Hear the words of an advisor who knows what *** is with people from their youth until now
Since he tied his hands to his garment *** he has fastened his waist to the Most Merciful
And he has passed through the intervals for the resolute *** a command binding upon the nature of man
And deficiency is born from his intervals *** are we not all children of deficiency?
He circled the schools of thought seeking a light *** to guide him and save him from the fires
As if he had circled seeking the darkness of the *** pitch-black night and the school of the bewildered
And the night does not increase except in strength *** and the dawn is subdued by the one with authority
Until a fire appeared in his journey on "
The Shaykh : until
The reader: " until a fire appeared in his journey on *** the Mount of the City, the rising of faith
So he came to take a spark from it, but it was not possible for him with *** those bonds to reach it safely
Had not the Divine One taken care of him with His gentleness *** he would have turned back on his heels in retreat
But he paused, humble and abased *** feeling the bankruptcy of his prices
So a host came to him and removed his bonds *** and then his arms were extended
And by Allah, had it not been that his bonds were removed *** and fell from him "
The Shaykh : and fall and be removed " and by Allah, had it not been that his bonds were removed "
The reader: " and by Allah, had it not been that his bonds were removed *** and the shackle of Satan fell from him
The ascent to the Pleiades would have been a climb *** without that fire in the possible
So he saw with that fire the towers of the City *** like tents, his two eyes gazing at them
And he saw there every guide, guided " .
The Shaykh :" And he saw on its roads the banners " it is possible and after what is ... existing .
The reader: " And he saw on its roads the banners had *** been erected for the bewildered traveler
And he saw there every guide, guided *** calling to faith and certainty
So there he comforted himself, remembering *** what the longing one said long ago "
The Shaykh : ... and the one who is in love
The reader: ...
The Shaykh : What
The reader: and I will anoint...
The Shaykh : What
The reader: " and the one in love with love has not ceased *** except from mentioning you from forgetfulness
If he were asked what you love? He would say promptly *** I love visiting you on the eyelids
By Allah, if time allowed your nearness *** and I was released from you in the lowly place
I would dust the cheek in thanks, I would dust the cheek in thanks, I would dust the cheek in thanks with the earth *** and I will anoint "
The Shaykh : and I will anoint, and I will anoint, and I will anoint, I will anoint
The reader: " I would dust the cheek in thanks with the earth *** and I will anoint my eyelids with your dust " .
