With the Name of Allah
the Most Beneficient, the Most Merciful

The Book of Soul
(Risaala-e-Roohi)


By the truth revealing tongue of 
Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen (King of the Gnostics)
The Proof of the Righteous
The Leader of the Perfect Masters
Annihilated in the oneness of God
Ya Hu Hazrat Sultan Bahu (qs)

Listen (O Seeker !)
May Allah guide you in both worlds

I was the 'Ha' in 'Howiyet'
(I Existed in the domain of Divine Essence)
As a treasure of 'Yahoot' (the First Manifestation)
Hidden in 'Lahoot' (the World of Negation)

Then, in 'Malakoot', (the world of Pure Intelligence)
I desired that I may  become known 
where there is 'Jabroot' (the World of Power)
Thus, I created the creation of 'Nasoot'
(the world of physical bodies)

(I created) the Individuality (or entity),
which is the fountain-head of all springs of reality 
(which is) the 'Ha' of Howiyet, 
(which is) Love!!
I held the heavenly court and the divine throne 
beyond the limits of all existence, 
except (people having) Love
(who could) reach that court of magnificience 

An exemplary lesson here
about the nature of that holy Entity
that thousands of thousands, rather innumerable,
caravans of (people of) intellect 
got crushed by stones
(while trying to reach Almighty through the intellect)

Praise & Glory be to Allah

Even from these bodies of earthly elements
there are thousands of ways in which 
evidences of His beauty & grandeur are being revealed 

The Omnipotent entity
has created a clear, pure mirror (creation)
in order to see His own beautiful face
