Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Sixth Fascicle

All these spiritual states are paraphrased in Maktûbât,
A book from which emanate all sorts of fuyûzât. [1]
It is from it that divine lights spread worldover;
Whatever your problem, to that book hand it over.
Read it very much, guy, you shall be light all over;
You shall receive all fayz directly from its author.
Such a book it is, in Islam it is peerless;
Both in the past and in the future it is matchless.
Next after the Qur’ân and Hadîth that book cometh;
Such a gem the book is, to all people it sayeth.
Source of knowledge and ikhlâs, and land of wonders, too;
A lover will one find it, and a matchless one, too.
“Each letter of my father’s,” Qayyûm-’âlam [2] says,
“Is an ocean so vast, it does not have any ends.”
In it Tarîqat and Sharî’at come together;
Source of happiness in both world and Hereafter.
Here is the physicists, and true panacea.
Here is the cure for hearts, and for souls the fare.
Here is the word Haqq loves, by the beloved ones is said.
Here is core of Islam, of which irfân is made.
Here is a variety of Awliyâ’s words;
And the path of Ahl-as-Sunnat in most open words!
The best news for the aspirant with love burning;
Best guide for the wayfarer for his sweatheart yearning.
Read this Maktûbât night and day alike; endeavour,
To relish that cultivation, that first-rate flavour.
Read the book until your eyes shed tears like rain;
Read it until you to genuine love attain.
Read it, so that that beauty will appear one day;
One who reads it will be free from vanities one day.
For hours, for days on end engage yourself with it;
A path into your heart will open with words from it;
A heart preoccupied with meanings it infuses
Will certainly attain the rescue he furnishes.
[1] Plural form of ‘fayz’.
