Qur’án, or by what thou hast learned from the works of those Suns of immaculacy and Moons of majesty,

It would immerse us in limited allusions and distract us from that which is beloved in the court of the All-Praised.

Sinai of divine
Revelation! Cleanse thy heart from every blasphemous whispering and evil allusion thou hast heard in the past, that thou mayest inhale the sweet savours of eternity from the
Joseph of faithfulness, gain admittance into the celestial Egypt, and perceive the fragrances of enlightenment from this resplendent and luminous
Tablet,
