When existence vanished and I was absent from it

إذا غاب الوجود وغبت عنه

1. When existence vanished and I was absent from it
Not knowing whether I was far or near

١. إِذا غابَ الوجودُ وغِبْت عنْه
فلم تعْلم أبْعد أم تَداني

2. And I was, for time, without time
And I was, for space, without space

٢. وكُنْت من الزَّمان بلا زَمانٍ
وكُنت من المكانِ بلا مكانِ

3. And you were released, you were not certain
Clearly visible, then absent from sight

عَياناً ثم غبْت عن العَيان

4. And you said, I perished, that the state is lasting
And you said, I remained, that the state is fleeting

٤. وقلْت فنيت أنَّ الحالَ باقِ
وقلْتَ بقيتُ إِنَّ الحالَ فان

5. You saw the Truth in you and you in Him
So the servant became free and secure

٥. رأيْتَ الحق فيك وأنت فيه
فصَار العبدُ حُراً في أمان
