ḥayrat-i ṣifāt (bewilderment regarding the divine attributes) refers to bewilderment concerning the divine attributes. The first type is kufr (disbelief) and shirk (associating partners with God), for the ʿārif (gnostic) can never have any doubt regarding the existence (wujūd) of the Divine Essence (Zāt). The second bewilderment, however, is maʿrifa (gnosis, experiential knowledge of God), because Allah's attributes are beyond the capacity of intellects to conceive. For this reason, some have said: O Guide of those who are bewildered! Increase my bewilderment! In this way, from the outset, one affirms Allah's wujūd (existence) and the perfection of His attributes, and clarifies that He is the ultimate aim of all people, the One who answers supplications (duā), and that for those who are bewildered, there is no object of bewilderment other than Him. Therefore, one asks for an increase in bewilderment. In making this request, one realizes that the bewilderment and distress of the intellect is a form of doubt and hesitation (cakfe, i.e., indecision and pause). (Hujvīrī, 327)
ḥayye 'alā'l-falāḥ (come to success): This is the call to falāḥ (salvation) for the manifestation of baqāʾ (subsistence in God), the salvation of the fortunate, and the inability of the wretched to attain salvation; it is the separation (fasl) and the division of the earth and sky on the Day of Judgment. (Latāʾif, 88)
