Song of Sheikh 'Othman. 
God, the Lord, he excels all in superi- 
ority : 
He is greater than you, A^med (Moham- 
med) ; His light illumines the whole 
earth. 
I praise the Lord God, who sent his 
blessing [mercy ?]. 
He sent A'hmed to all his creatures. 
His light shines over all his creatures : 
the light of intelligence, as well as that 
of sight, all-comprising ; 
the splendour of the Imam of the Faith- 
ful reaches everywhere ; 
all the splendour of the Weli [holy men] 
and of the prophets : 
and when sun and moon unite all that 
is splendid, 
their light does not reach His resplen- 
dence. 
God blessed Abraham among the whole 
of his creatures. 
Moses obtained eloquence among man- 
kind. 
To Jesus was given strength and spirit. 
Thou hast obtained a sight of Him (of 
God) ; thou hast obtained eloquence 
and authority.
