1. If a beautiful woman appears before me
Even if she appears in the ugliest of forms

2. The ugliness that made your appearance
Seems to me among the most beautiful of forms

3. Blessed is Allah in His revelation we know Him
And if we were ignorant of Him we would be harmed

4. He is the One seen in His Essence and in His Attributes
In the world of command, the heavens, and mankind

5. Through Him I see and listen when He calls me
For He is the eye's sight and the ear's hearing

6. The scholar of theology does not know our words
If he spoke them he would be in danger

7. And every advocate of a doctrine of what we know
Our minds, he is in it in danger

8. You see Him swimming in a sea yet He has no
Sword to save Him if He had caution

9. So adhere to what the Law says about Him and do not
Deviate from the intellectual and transmitted view

10. And take exclusively that to which you bear witness then when
You walk among people do not deviate from the trace
