لَهُ كَرَمٌ مِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ وَجُودُ
Being—and it is enough for me to say: Being.
Existence, and it suffices that I say "existence"
Its generosity and bounty are from itself, bestowed upon itself.
It has a generosity from it upon existence

بِمَعْنَى اعْتِبَار النَّقْصِ فِيهِ يَؤُودُ
It transcends the attribute of perfection, for that
It transcends being described with perfection, because
burdens it by implying the possibility of deficiency within it.
In the meaning of considering deficiency in it, it would perish
وَلَكِنَّهُbut it فِيهِwithin it الكَمَالُperfection وَضِدُّهُand its opposite

Yet within it are perfection and its opposite,
But in it is perfection and its opposite
its own, from itself; and the whole stands firm within it.
It has from it, and the sum in it is steadfast

And the noblest of enclosing shapes is that through which
And the most noble of sphere shapes is what in it
its spheres are rounded; their good fortune comes from it.
Is rounded, so it from it inclines
لِحَيْطَتِهَاbecause of their encompassing الأَشْكَالَthe shapes فيهاwithin them بِأَسْرِهَاin their entirety

وَمِنْهَاand from them إِلَيْهَاto them تَبْتَدِيthey begin وتَعوُدُand return
وَمِنْهَا إِلَيْهَا تَبْتَدِي وتَعوُدُ
For they encompass all shapes within themselves,
Because it surrounds the shapes in it entirely
and from them these begin, and to them return.
And from it to it begins and returns

فَلَيْسَso there is no عَلَيْهَاbeyond them فيin الكَمْالِperfection مَزِيدُfurther increase
فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا في الكَمْالِ مَزِيدُ
And their power bestows diversity in its entirety,
And its strength gives all diversity
so nothing surpasses them in perfection,
So there is no increase for it in perfection

بِسَطْوَتِهَا كُلُّ الكُرَاتِ تَبِيدُ
save the power of absoluteness, which is all-encompassing:
Except the power of absoluteness, so it is encompassing
by its might, all spheres perish.
With its dominion all spheres would vanish

تَحَرُّكُ جِسْمٍ كَيْ يَنَالَ قُصُودُ
Likewise, revolving motions are the noblest means by which
Thus the motions of orbit are the most noble in it
a body moves to attain its aims.
A body moves so that it attains purposes

فَفِي كُلِّ آنٍ خَلْقُهُنَّ جَدِيدُ
Thus they encompass every kind of motion;
So it includes all types of motion entirely
at every instant, their creation is renewed.
So in each instant their creation is new

Meanings: through them and from them come proofs concerning them;
With meanings through which from it evidences for it
and within them, for them, is witnessing of what they seek.
And in it for it in what it intends are witnesses

And if it were not for the dissolution of the whole with the power

For its absoluteness in their collection, fetters

no existent would ever cease to be, nor would there vanish
The existent would not have ceased one day nor elapsed
traces and limits through the forms of decay.
Configurations with types of adversity and boundaries

فَلَيْسَ لَهَا في الدَّوْرِ قَطُّ جُموُدُ
Yet they reach the limit that defines them;
But it comes to describe its endpoint
so in their revolution they never stand still.
So for it in orbit there is no rigidity ever
وَلَوْand if وَقَفَتْthey stopped يَوْماًone day بِحَدٍat a limit لَنَالَهَاwould befall them

And if they ever halted at a limit, they would suffer
And if it stopped one day with a limit, it would gain
nonbeing thereby—impossible, for they are Being!
Through it non-existence, never, it is existence
