1. It is too great for God to be known and imagined
Bound, yet known for absoluteness

2. It is He whom sights perceive in forms
Witnessed, so He is revealed to sights

3. So He is the bound and limited in forms
Yet described with transcendence

4. Thus we know Him, thus we are ignorant of Him
For incapacity to know Him rests with Him

5. If you say this, the intellect’s judgement is not so
Say not ‘it is not’ for the matter turns

6. Rather, say “But indeed” for God has said it
In a verse, a statement of definition

7. Say “But indeed” but in its proper places
Upon what He said, no distortion

8. In the essence of transcendence, an essence of anthropomorphism
All is truth, for the matter is to turn

9. The Real has not created, so creation knows Him
Nor are creations real, so He is confined

10. I have weighed for you the signs of your Creator
A weighing, in which is no loss or skimping

11. I have composed it for you, what your Creator has said
And composing it, measured and turned
