1. I gain from Him what I gain
So I pledged my soul, for what did I oblige it?
١. الكسب منه ما أنا كاسبٌ
فرهن نفسي ما الذي أوجبه
2. How strange is the matter I stated
With true knowledge, how strange it seems to him
٢. ما أعجب الأمر الذي قلته
على صحيح العلم ما أعجبه
3. And truth may say from His side
Who is the most powerful of creation, and who gives him gain
٣. وقد يقول الحقُّ من عنده
من أقدر الخلقِ ومن أكسبه
4. Except Me, so the action is from Me through him
So do not say about the servant what makes him a liar
٤. إلا أنا فالفعل مني به
فلا تقل في العبد ما أكذبه
5. He is truthful in the action when He says to me
Our proof is the Writer, what He writes
٥. يصدق في الفعل إذا قال لي
برهاننا الكاتب ما أكتبه
