1. Glorious is He whom I see naught but Him
In everything my eyes can see

2. And that is the difference my mind perceives
Between the One I worship and me

3. Whenever I say You are my Lord
I don the cloak of a Sufi in humbleness

4. His transcendence is His utmost exaltation
His immanence is His being as me

5. I sought help from Him through the Sharia
O claimant, there can be no help for me

6. Except for a servant who has been given access
And no access except for where I can be

7. In my moderation, minds lost their way
When what lies between them and me held sway

8. The truth has come to us in reception
In every ease and softness, I say

9. O Messenger, I am indeed hearing
If you stand by me with two attestations

10. An Essence has transcended, for It has attributes
Of every beauty and adornment, I maintain

11. If my mind seeks to comprehend them
I'd build my home on two ruins
