Sol 6

  1. صلاتي إليها بل إليَّ صلاتُها

    ومنها إليها واصلات صِلاتُها

    My prayer is to her; rather, her prayer is to me.

    From her to her, her ties extend.

  2. وبالحصر في القرآن جاء هو الذي

    يصلي عليكم ثم جاءت هداتها

    And with exclusive emphasis, the Qur’an says: It is He who

    bestows blessings upon you; then her guides appear:

  3. ملائكة بالعطف بالواو بعده

    هي الكل زالت بالتجلي سماتها

    angels, joined after Him by the word “and.”

    She is the whole; through self-disclosure her distinguishing marks vanish.

  4. ونحن الأولى بالوهم قامت شخوصنا

    وذا الوهم ما تعطي لنا ظلماتها

    And we are those whose forms arose through illusion.

    That illusion is what her darkness gives us.

  5. وإخراجنا للنور منها محقق

    وما النور إلا ما روته رواتها

    Our emergence from it into light is certain.

    And light is only what her narrators have related.

  6. أكبِّرها عني ومن تكبَّرت

    علي وجادت بالتواضع ذاتها

    I magnify her beyond myself; and she who held herself high

    above me gave generously of her very self in humility.

  7. له وحدة ما مثلها وحدة وقد

    عجبت لذات كثَّرتها صفاتها

    He has a unity unlike any other unity; and I

    marveled at an essence made many by its attributes.

  8. صعدنا إليها وهو كان نزولها

    إلينا فمنا سميت سجداتها

    We ascended to her, and that was her descent

    to us; thus her prostrations were named through us.

  9. وإن زاد قرباً عبدها وهو ساجد

    فما ذاك إلا أن نفاه ثباتها

    And if her servant draws nearer while prostrating,

    that is only because her constancy effaces him.

  10. دنت فتدلت فالتقى النور والدجى

    إذا عربدت سكراً عليها صحاتها

    She drew near and descended, and light met darkness

    when her sobriety ran riot upon her in drunkenness.

  11. لنا الحكم فيها باطناً وهي ظاهراً

    لها الحكم فينا حققته قضاتها

    We hold authority within her inwardly, while she outwardly

    holds authority within us; her judges have confirmed it.
