1. The self bears witness in the assembly, and we have
No judgment over it with an attribute that has not ceased within it
١. الذاتُ تشهد في المجلى وليس لنا
حكم عليها بنعتٍ لم يزل فيه
2. Except its transformation, except its change
In every assembly, and this contains what it contains
٢. إلا تحوّلها إلا تبدّلها
في كلِّ مجلى وهذا فيه ما فيه
3. In the mind, not in the texts of the law, so adhere
To the words of the Lawgiver, since guidance was in it
٣. في العقل لا في نصوصِ الشرعِ فالتزموا
قولَ المشرِّعِ إذ كان الهدى فيه
4. So there are no lower forms, nor higher forms
That you witness except that its judgment is within it
٤. فليس من صور أدنى ولا صور
عليا تشاهد إلا حكمها فيه
5. If it saw a stone, and if it saw a tree
And if it saw an animal, all of it is within it
٥. فإنْ رأت حجراً وإن رأت شجراً
وإنْ رأت حيواناً كلها فيه
6. It is existence, but whatever it judged by
It is the essence of essences that appeared within it
٦. هو الوجود ولكن ما حكمت به
فإنه عين أعيانٍ بدتْ فيه
