I am, and while

إني أنا وبينما

1. I am, and while
I told you I am

١. إني أنا وبينما
قلت لكم أني أنا

2. I was a thousand I's
Repeated, composed

٢. كنت أنا ألف أنا
مكرَّراً مكوَّنا

3. Quickly by my Creator
The hidden of hidden with glory

٣. بسرعة من خالقي
غيب الغيوب ذي السنا

4. A lightning that struck repeatedly
Then struck repeatedly

٤. برقٌ أضا وبطنا
ثم أضا وبطنا

5. Because I am of His command
Be and it becomes, carefully

٥. لأنني عن أمره
كن فيكون باعتنا

6. And His command is one
Apply what He told us

٦. وأمره واحدة
طبق الذي قال لنا

7. And so is the universe
Together, every time like us

٧. وهكذا الكون جمي
عاً كل وقتٍ مثلنا

8. Because He created and created
Allah by command came close

٨. لأنه خلقٌ وخل
قُ الله بالأمر دنا

9. So of His signs
Created by command composed

٩. فإن من آياته
خلقاً بأمرٍ كُوِّنا

10. No doubt, creation is His as
He said and the command is here

١٠. ألا له الخلقُ كما
قد قال والأمرُ هنا

11. So believe Him and leave
What minds are accustomed to

١١. فصدقوه واتركوا
ما للعقول ديدنا

12. For the mind links all
To perceptions here

١٢. فالعقل ربط كله
للمدركات هاهنا

13. And our Lord is more truthful than
The mind of the lad no doubt

١٣. وربنا أصدق من
عقل الفتى تيقُّنا

14. And with Allah's book does not
Befit other than it for us

١٤. ومع كتاب الله لا
يليق غيره بنا

15. And my people have built
Upon it the straightest structure

١٥. وإن قومي قد بنوا
عليه أقوَمَ البِنا

16. And they did not accept their minds
To be safe among them

١٦. وما رضوا عقولهم
تكون فيهم آمَنا

17. On beliefs they have
For it is the creation of life

١٧. على عقائدٍ لهم
لأنها خلق الدُّنا

18. And when the people were revealed
By His command, which is the purpose

١٨. والقوم لما كوشفوا
بأمره وهو المنى

19. They saw by it their standing
And everything clearly

١٩. رأوا به قيامهم
وكل شيء علنا

20. About His command like lightning or
Like pipes of the waterway

٢٠. عن أمره كالبرق أو
مثل أنابيب القنا

21. That is why whoever
Said my Creator is I

٢١. من أجل ذا يقول من
قد قال خالقي أنا

22. And this saying is wrong
It necessitated the taste of extinction

٢٢. وقول هذا خطأ
أوجبه ذوق الفنا

23. For himself and others
Without fixed duration

٢٣. لنفسه وغيره
بلا ثبوبت زمنا

24. So if he sobered from his drunkenness
He would see God other than us

٢٤. فلو صحا من سكره
رأى الإله غيرنا

25. Because we are created for Him
By His command composed

٢٥. لأننا خلق له
بأمره كوَّننا

26. And His command is like a blink say
From a sight when delight

٢٦. وأمره كاللمح قل
من بصرٍ إذا رنا

27. And creation is thus without
Hesitation and effort

٢٧. والخلق هكذا بلا
تردُّدٍ ولا عنا

28. As my Lord came rarely
Casts the truth at us

٢٨. كما أتى ربِّيَ قل
يقذفُ بالحق بنا

29. Similar to what they said in
Qualities words well composed

٢٩. نظير ما قالوه في ال
أعراضِ قولاً متقنا

30. If they were fair, then all
Qualities, and this is what we know

٣٠. لو أنصفوا فالكل أع
راضٌ وهذا عندنا

31. But they were deluded
By a mind they excelled in

٣١. لكنهم قد غرَّهم
عقل لهم تفننا

32. In everything, so follow it
And forget our Lord

٣٢. في كل شيء فاقتدوا
به وأُنْسُوا ربَّنا

33. So they did not follow His saying
Nor saw it good

٣٣. فما اقتدوا بقوله
ولا رأوه حسنا

34. And they denied the one
Who by his saying the truth suffices

٣٤. وأنكروا على الذي
بقوله الحق اغتنى

35. And did not follow their minds
Nor cared for them

٣٥. ولم يتابعهم على
عقولهم ولا اعتنى

36. And my Lord will judge
Tomorrow in truth between us

٣٦. بهم وربي حاكم
غدا بحق بيننا
