1. أَيا مَن حُبُّهُ حالي

    وَحالي سَترُهُ شَرطُ

    O you whose love is my state,

    And concealing my state is a condition;

  2. وَمَن وَقتي بِهِ سَيفٌ

    عَلى الكَونِ بِهِ أَسطو

    And you through whom my time is a sword,

    With it I overpower existence.

  3. لَكَ الأَمرُ لَكَ النَهيُ

    لَكَ القَبضُ لَكَ البَسطُ

    Yours is the command, yours the prohibition;

    Yours is constriction, yours expansion;

  4. وَمِنكَ اللَوحُ وَالخَطُّ

    وَفِيَّ الشَكلُ وَالنَقطُ

    And from you come the tablet and the script;

    And in me are the vowel marks and dots;

  5. وَمِن كافِكَ وَالنونِ

    تَجَلّى العَدلُ وَالقِسطُ

    And from your kāf and the nūn

    Justice and equity became manifest.
