1. What have I, for I have reached the wishes
Neither you, you I see, nor I, I am
١. مالي لقد أصبحت من نيل المنى
لا أنت أنت أرى ولا أني أنا
2. And I see the countries, no countries and its people
No people, and I see the world, it's not the world
٢. وأرى البلاد ولا بلاد وأهلها
لا أهلها وأرى الدُّنا هي لا الدُّنا
3. And all that was has gone and not gone
And all is fancy, it became for me to seduce us
٣. وجيمع ما قد كان زال ولم يزل
والكل وهماً صار لي كي يفتنا
4. And the hidden has appeared
Formed with all, defined for me
٤. وبدا الذي قد كان عني خافياً
متصوراً بالكل لي متعينا
5. Without forms changing it, nor
Is it with appearing, composed by them
٥. من غير ما صور تغيره ولا
هو بالظهور بها يكون مكوّنا
6. What I tied from its unlimitedness
As there is no existence except it defined
٦. ما قيدته عن مدى إطلاقه
إذ لا وجود لها سواه مبينا
7. And it is the many, and it is One in it
Single, though it colored me varied
٧. وهي الكثيرة وهو فيها واحد
فرد وإن صبغته لي فتلونا
8. It did not busy from some with some, but
In everything, it has not ceased empowered
٨. لم يشتغل عن بعضها بالبعض بل
في كل شيء لم يزل متمكنا
9. And its qualities are it, and it is vanishing by it
And it is that which it is, not reached by passing
٩. وشئونه هي وهي فانية به
وهو الذي هو ليس يدركه الفنا
10. True, and we, and what we witness, false
It seduced minds by creating and eyes
١٠. حقٌّ ونحنُ وما نشاهدُ باطلٌ
فتن العقولَ بخلقِه والأعينا
11. So beware you think anything other than it
Will be there tomorrow or here with it
١١. فاحذر تظن بأن شيئاً غيره
معه يكون هناك في الغد أو هنا
