1. أنا العدمْ وبربي صرت كن فيكونْ

    وجوده مثبت نفي وإني دونْ

    I am nothingness, and through my Lord I came to be: “Be,” and it is.

    His existence affirms my nonbeing, and I am lowly.

  2. ولا حلول كما أهل الحجى يعنونْ

    ولا اتحاد كما قد ألبس الملعونْ

    Nor indwelling, as people of reason mean it.

    Nor union, as the accursed one has misleadingly portrayed it.
