Ah, oh my beloved, ah, oh my purpose, ah, oh my hope, ah, oh my hope, ah, ah, how can I raise my head before the pen of Ali whom you have made the shining of your revelation and the source of your inspiration? How can I look at the pen that is attributed to Muhammad, your messenger, and in it is the number of the secrets of your judgment and the books of the tablets of your command? By your might, O my beloved, I am about to return to nothingness because of my shame and what happened to me in my days. May I be able to witness the pen of what you sent down to the soul of the decrees of your command and the secrets of your laws and decrees, and what appeared from it that proved your exaltation of yourself from proverbs and your sanctification of ghosts? Or do I hear the creak of the pen of the Kaleem with which He wrote your judgments, your wisdom, the essences of your unification, and the traces of your uniqueness?
