The knowing ones become one with the only Lord,
For peerless in origin they are.

For He made them fortunate, in their origin bold.

There be no other God save Him,
Their souls unite din spiritual traits,
With care they tread the sacred ways,
To seek eternal abode with knowledge rare,
No rest they know nor idle sit,
Their being in non-existence reversed.
