1. Letters in their stillness is execution
And in their existence is assimilation
١. أحرف في سكونها الإعدامُ
ولها في وجوده إدغامُ
2. In the existence of the Truth, there is no other
So to Him belong peace and from Him, greetings
٢. في وجود الحق الذي لا سواه
فعليه به ومنه السلام
3. The assimilation of the letters of the universe in Him
Is stillness by which is blessing
٣. إن إدغام أحرف الكون فيه
لسكون بها هو الإنعام
4. So if they move, release them
And they become independent and their assimilation passes
٤. فإذا ما تحركت فك عنها
فاستقلت وفاتها الإدغام
5. And for this my Lord says to Him as long as
The night and day remain
٥. ولهذا يقول ربي له ما
سكن الليل والنهار دوام
6. So without stillness, there would have been no assimilation
For them in Him or establishment over them
٦. فهي لولا السكون ما كان إدغا
م لها فيه أو عليها قيام
7. The letters of the existents from the essence of the Truth
Are differing for them with Him and division
٧. أحرف الكائنات عن نفس الحق
ق اختلاف لها به وانقسام
8. So if words are compiled
They are recited and their collection is speech
٨. فإذا ما تركبت كلمات
هي تتلى وجمعهن كلام
9. The word of the Truth so listen O son of fervor
And all else is falsehood, it is delusions
٩. قوله الحق فاستمع يا ابن ودي
والسوى باطل هو الأوهام
10. Exalted is the Lord by whom the land stood
Not by knowledge, and the knowledgeable became upright
١٠. جل رب به البرية قاموا
لا بعلم والعالمون استقاموا
