 Now do I exorcise thee with thy own incantation. Blunt be the iron, sharp the incantation!

White is the flower of the confession of faith—the limitless sea is the kingdom of my Lord.

Twenty attributes (hath God), name of God's majesty!—My body is of a truth the possession of my Lord.

A drop of water in the palm of the hand—who knoweth the art of bathing himself in the glitter thereof?

It is my Lord alone who may thus bathe;—none other may bathe himself in the glitter thereof.

O sòydilah, O Abdulqādir—may all (red-hot) chains be affected by the incantation!

May they be as cold as water, may they be powdered like dust—through the blessed influence of our noble teacher!

Ya hō alah; ya hō mèëlòë —o iron! thou art under the influence of exorcism.

O Allah! There is a conflict in the cause of Allah! O for help in the conflict in the cause of Allah!

The sibōn-bōn bush, its flowers are withered—they lie disconsolately round the stalk.
