ومن شدة القرب مني

شهدت أنك أني

And from being so close to me

You witnessed that you are me

فقلت ما قلت جهلاً

وذاك من سوء ظني

So I said what I said in ignorance

And that was from my ill thinking

وحين حققت أمري

والوهم قد زال عني

And when I realized my matter

And delusions had left me

تركت هذا وهذا

ثم الفنا صار فني

I left this and that

Then annihilation became my art

وصرت عن عيب غيب

بما أقول أكنِّي

And I became absent from fault or absence

With what I say I hint

وزال عني ترجّي

علمي به والتمني

And hope in my knowledge of Him and wishing departed from me

And knowledge is like ignorance to me

والعلم كالجهل عندي

فيه وزال التعني

In it, and insistence departed

Since all of that is created

إذ كل ذلك خلقٌ

والخلق ما عنه يغني

And creation does not avail against Him

And nothing resembles my Lord

وليس يشبه ربي

شيء فكن في التهني

So be at ease in praising

I am the unifier in spiritual taste

أنا الموحِّدُ ذوقاً

فخلِّني يا مثنِّي

So leave me, O you who dualizes
