Everything but God is useless, my friend
Though the intellect neglects this
"if you only knew it"

We are waves of an ocean, whose shore is the world
But our essence is water
"if you only knew it"

All unlearned in the Prophet's knowledge
Are ignorant of God
"if you only knew it"

Everything but God, Oh Dervish!
Is without profit and worthless
"if you only knew it"

He who understands this completely
Is a Perfect Slave of God
"if you only knew it"

Every Ray of Light
That descends upon my Heart
Descends from God
"if you only knew it"

I am killed in Love and
Alive eternally
My Master is a murderer
"if you only knew it"
