1. Glorify your God for God is Great
And creation, though you belittle it, is great

2. And that's why it came in the pattern 'af'al' so take heed
In the word 'akbar' for the occasion is momentous

3. Do not belittle people for their station is
Exalted, and due esteem and honor

4. For they are proof of their Maker's essence
So to Him belong conception and depiction

5. And when you mention God, profess His Oneness
For its stance is oneness, though multiplicity belongs to it

6. And belongs to the multiplication of attributes attached to Him
He is One though abundant

7. He is the willful of our existence from His essence
And when He wills our existence, He is Able

8. He is the Speaker, the One who converses with His servant
At the Mount amidst the flames, and He is the Light

9. He is the Hearer, the Seer of His creation
He is the Knower, the Expert of what you know

10. I saw my poem as a fine robe
In it, youthful features, its embroidery and silk

11. I began it with His Names and Attributes
For through every aspect, they are manifest
