1. He is the Powerful when He ordains
And He is the Powerful when He bestows
١. فهو القوي إذا قضى
وهو القوي إذا منحْ
2. So praise be to Allah who
With both has unlocked my heart
٢. فالحمدُ لله الذي
بهما على قلبي فتح
3. Indeed I saw the Truth and the
Scale in His hand tipping
٣. إني رأيتُ الحقَّ وال
ميزان في يده رجح
4. So I asked what He seeks
And He answered clearly expressing
٤. فسألته ما يبتغي
فأجاب ما يدري فصح
5. The words of all creatures
That the Bountiful has the bestowal
٥. قولُ الخلائق كلهم
إن الكريم له المنح
6. I still worship Him for His sake
And the believers and the righteous
٦. ما زلت أعبده له
والمؤمنين ومن صلح
7. Whoever does not worship Him so
Among the creatures stands disgraced
٧. من ليس يعبده كذا
بين الخلائق يفتضح
8. And when you understand my words
The witness's spark is lit
٨. وإذا فهمت مقالتي
زند المشاهد ينقدح
9. So you see what I have said
From the light of your spark made clear
٩. فترى الذي قد قلته
من نور زندك قد وضح
10. So light the spark of His existence
For in it lies the unveiling for the lit
١٠. فاقدح زنادَ وجوده
فالكشف فيه لمن قدح
11. I have advised you and
The trusted one has fulfilled the advice
١١. إني نصحتكم وقد
أدَّى الأمانة من نصح
