1. I am amazed by two things that
All people's minds have agreed upon.

2. The first is the nonexistent, which
God has removed the description of nonexistence from.

3. So it has become existent and has taken on
An evident description of existence for all people.

4. So wonder at a described one who is denied
While his enduring description has no ambiguity.

5. By whom do you see the description has now stood
Realize, O people, these words.

6. And the second is the True Existent Being Who
Has determined all creation with harmony.

7. How, with His nonexistences, has He become
Described, while the intellect therein is an imam?

8. To the point that transcendence from them through Him
Has required this matter to arbitration.

9. And only the All-Powerful One, and He
Whose actions proceed by decree.

10. So the intellect emerges unto what He wills
Of meanings whether with illumination or darkness

11. By His disposal therein however
He has willed, no objection nor blame.
