1. لا خلق أعظم مثل خلق الآخرَهْ

    يعطي السعيد بها العلوم الفاخرَهْ

    No creation is greater than the creation of the Hereafter.

    There the blessed one is granted splendid knowledge.

  2. وإليه مرجع كل شيء في الورى

    لا سيما أهل العظام الناخره

    And to Him everything in creation returns,

    especially those with decaying bones.

  3. ونعيمه وعذابه متنوع

    أبدا كأمواج البحار الزاخره

    And His bliss and His torment take varied forms,

    forever, like the waves of the surging seas.

  4. والكل في التحقيق أمر واحد

    كل القوابل تستشم مباخره

    And all, in truth, is one thing;

    all receptive forms inhale the scent of its censers.

  5. والقبضتان هما جمال إلهنا

    وجلاله ظهرا لنا في الآخره

    And the two handfuls are our God's beauty

    and His majesty; both appeared to us in the Hereafter.

  6. والحق في عين الجميع محقق

    والنفس لاهية بذلك ساخره

    And the Real is established in the very essence of all,

    and the soul is heedless, scoffing at that.

  7. والنقر في الناقور يكشف خافياً

    باللبس أول ما يقول وآخره

    And the sounding of the trumpet reveals what is hidden

    by ambiguity—the beginning and end of what He says.
