Sol 6.1

  1. قد صرت كلي قلوباً فيه تحتار

    لما تجلى وما يختار نختارُ

    My whole being has become hearts bewildered in Him,

    When He revealed Himself; whatever He chooses, we choose.

  2. والكل مني له الآذان مصغية

    وإن نظرت فكلي فيه أبصار

    And all of me is ears listening intently to Him;

    And if I look, all of me is eyes beholding Him.

  3. غيب تحجب في الأكوان فهو بها

    نور ونار ولا نور ولا نار

    He is the Unseen, veiled within created things; in them He is

    Light and fire, yet neither light nor fire.

  4. وهو الوجود النزيه الصرف عز فلا

    شيء سواه وعنه الكل آثار

    And He is Being, transcendent and pure—exalted is He! Thus there is no

    Thing besides Him, and all things are traces of Him.

  5. إذا أراد بدا ذاك المراد به

    كما يريد وكانت منه أغيار

    When He wills, that which is willed appears through Him,

    As He wills, and from Him other things have come to be.

  6. والكل في علمه لكن إرادته

    تخفى وتبدي فكتمان وإظهار

    And all is in His knowledge, but His will

    Conceals and reveals—thus concealment and disclosure.

  7. جل المهيمن في تقديس حضرته

    عمن سواه به كل الورى حاروا

    Exalted is the Guardian in the sanctity of His presence,

    Above all besides Him; all creatures have been bewildered by Him.

  8. لا ذنب للعقل هذا قدر طاقته

    وذاك منه تسابيح وأذكار

    Reason bears no blame; this is the extent of its capacity,

    And that is its glorification and remembrance.

  9. لكنه إن يكن بالعجز معترفاً

    فمؤمن هو أو لا فهو كفّار

    But if it acknowledges its incapacity,

    Then it is a believer; otherwise it is an utter unbeliever.

  10. إذ ليس للحق مع شيء مناسبة

    ولا بوجه فكالتصديق إنكار

    For the Real has no affinity with anything,

    Nor in any respect; thus denial is like affirmation.
