My Lord creates every living thing from water.
My Lord, creator of all that lives from water
And the self—the murk within you—turns your right guidance into error.
And the soul - from You comes its turbidity or its clarity

فانظر إلى شاخصك واصفو وهيا هيّْ
واعلمand know بأنthat حياتكyour life ماwater (poetic form) وأنتand you الفيthe shadow
واعلم بأن حياتك ما وأنت الفي
So look at your own form and become clear—come, come!
So look upon your supplicant describing himself
And know that your life is water, and you are the shadow.
And know that your life is with You, and You are its life
Sol 6.1
