朋友喲，你要去探此秘密時，
消費你寶貴的光陰——快請探去！
真與偽之間幾不容發——
試問人生是何所依據？
ⅩLIX
Would you that spangle of Existence spend
About The Secret—quick about it, Friend!
A Hair perhaps divides the False and True—
And upon what, prithee, may life depend?
50
真與偽之間幾不容發；
只有一個“阿里扶”可為導引，
——只要你能尋得時——
會引你到“寶室”，乃至“真君”；
L
A Hair perhaps divides the False and True;
Yes; and a single Alif were the clue—
Could you but find it—to the Treasure-house,
And peradventure to The Master too;
[註釋]阿里扶（Alif）：亞拉伯字母之首字。即回教至上神Allah之首字。
51
真君冥冥兮周流八垠，
速如流汞兮消汝苦辛；
自月至魚兮萬匯賦形；
萬匯毀變兮真君永存；
LI
Whose secret Presence, through Creation's veins
Running Quicksilver-like eludes your pains;
Taking all shapes from Máh to Máhi; and
They change and perish all—but He remains;
[註釋]自月至魚（from Máh to Máhi）：東方創世論，萬有始於月，終於魚。
