He is Allah, my Lord, He is the Originator

هو الله ربي هو المبتدا

1. He is Allah, my Lord, He is the Originator
And none raised Him except the Originator

١. هو الله ربي هو المبتدا
وما رفعه بسوى الإبتدا

2. Verify my words and leave singularity
For singularity is the worst perdition

٢. تحقق كلامي وخل السوى
فإن السوى هو أردى الردى

3. And all the worlds are His tidings
By Him they were raised with the people of guidance

٣. وكل العوالم أخباره
به رُفعت عند أهل الهدى

4. And in them is a conscience returning to Him
By it He tied them, it was with the Originator

٤. وفيها ضميرٌ له راجعٌ
به ربطها كان بالمبتدا

5. So say what he who said in his ecstasy
"I am God", distinguish what he transgressed

٥. فقول الذي قال في شطحه
أنا الله ميَّزه ما اعتدى

6. For "I" is the subject according to him
To Him belongs the predicate "God" when He originated

٦. فإن أنا مبتداً عنده
له الخبرُ الله لما بدا

7. And the predicate of the subject is not its essence
Yes, other than it, thus I bear witness

٧. وما خبر المبتدا عينه
نعم غيره هكذا أشهدا

8. But he is an erring ecstatic
And he has made the predicate the subject

٨. ولكنه شاطحٌ مخطئٌ
وقد جعل الخبرَ المبتدا

9. And he preceded in his words
Himself over God when he ascribed it

٩. وقدم في قوله نفسه
على الله حيث له أسندا

10. So he gave tidings of God about himself
And had he reversed it, he would have been guided

١٠. فأخبر بالله عن نفسه
ولو عكسه كان لاسترشدا

11. But herein is a secret science for him
The gnostics extend to him the hand

١١. ولكن هنا سرُّ علمٍ له
تمد له العارفون اليدا
