1. ملكوت السماء والأرضِ

    نافض في الجميع كالنبضِ

    The dominion of heaven and earth

    Quivers in all things like a pulse.

  2. أصله الأمر واحد وبه

    كل شيء في الرفع والخفض

    Its source, the Command, is one, and through it

    All things are raised and lowered.

  3. نحن طوراً إليه نرجع في

    مغضب للإله أو مرضي

    At times we return to Him in

    What angers God or pleases Him.

  4. كلنا واحدٌ بلا صور

    في البنا للوجود والنقض

    We are all one, without forms,

    In the building and undoing of existence.

  5. يا أخلاي هذه خلع

    قد أتت من نوالها المحض

    O my dear friends, these are robes of honor

    That have come from her pure bounty.

  6. لبستها من نحن إياها

    وإليها عنا بها نمضي

    She whom we are has donned them,

    And toward her, away from ourselves, through her we go:

  7. حضرة فذة مقدسة

    حكمت بالحرام والفرض

    A unique, holy Presence

    That has decreed the forbidden and the obligatory.

  8. حبها حبنا لها أبداً

    وهو فينا بالحب والبغض

    Her love is our love for her forever,

    And it is in us through love and hatred.

  9. تتجلى بنا لنا ولذا

    ينجلي بعضنا على بعض

    She reveals herself through us to us, and so

    Some of us become manifest to others.

  10. جل من لا يحل في أحد

    بارق لا يحل في الومض

    Exalted is He who dwells in no one—

    Lightning that does not dwell in the gleam.
