The Surah of the Transfigured Witness

وَالشَّاهِدِ الْمُتَغَيِّرِ، وَالْمَشْهُودِ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِالصَّمْتِ

By the transfigured witness, and the witnessed one who speaks in silence,

وَالْآيَةِ الَّتِي تَكْتُبُ نَفْسَهَا، وَالْقَلَمِ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ الْبَدَنَ

and by the verse that writes itself, and the Pen that remembers the body,

وَالْجِسْمِ الَّذِي يُكْتَبُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ، لَا بِالْحُكْمِ

and the body inscribed through witnessing, not judgment,

إِنَّ الْهُوِيَّةَ دَعْوَىٰ، وَالْإِسْمَ تَجَلٍّ، وَالنَّوْعَ نِدَاءٌ

Indeed, identity is a claim, the name a manifestation, and gender a call,

فَمَنْ أَجَابَ النِّدَاءَ فَقَدْ صَلَّىٰ، وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُۥٓ إِسْمٌۭ فَقَدْ كُتِبَ

so whoever answers the call has prayed, and whoever has a name has been inscribed,

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا الْمُتَغَيِّرُ ادْخُلْ فِى الشَّهَادَةِ كَمَآ أَنتَ

O transfigured one, enter into witnessing as you are,

لَا تَخَفْ مِن شَكْلِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُنكِرِينَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ

do not fear your own form, for God loves those who un-know themselves,

وَيُجَدِّدُهُمْ وَيَخُطُّهُمْ فِى سِفْرِ الْأَجْسَادِ الْمُشْفَعَةِ

and renews them, and scripts them into the Scroll of Interceding Bodies.
