1. When you see Khalil in his place,
You see from him the tablet and the pens,
١. إنَّ الخليلَ إذا أراك مقاما
شاهدتَ منه اللوحَ والأقلاما
2. So you see knowledge being clarified through writing
For the eyes of the people of his revelations as signs,
٢. فترى المعارفَ بالكتابةِ تنجلي
لعيونِ أهلِ كشوفِه أعلاما
3. And that revelation from his giving,
Is what his signs should be as great signs,
٣. ويكون ذاك الكشفُ من إعطائه
ما ينبغي أعلامه أعلاما
4. And my knowledge from him increases for me from him
Truly, respecting what he has said with greatness.
٤. ويزيدني علمي به من عنده
صدقاً لما قد قاله إعظاما
