الأمر أعظمُ أن يحظى به أحد
فماso not لهfor it فيin وجودِthe existence of العلمِknowledge مُستندْa basis
فما له في وجودِ العلمِ مُستندْ
The matter is too great for anyone to attain it.
To be granted insight is the greatest thing,
So it has no basis in the realm of knowledge.
For in the realm of knowledge it has no prop.

جاء الحديثُ فما تُدري حقيقته

ولا بعينها فكْرٌ ولا سَنَد
The report has come, yet you do not know its true nature;
Revelation came, but you cannot know its truth,
nor can thought or transmitted authority grasp its very essence.
Nor with the mind's eye, thought or basis grasp.

لأنهbecause it بوجودِto the existence of الصورthe forms ينفردis confined

And unveiling has no part in it,
Unveiling has no means of access here,
for it is confined to the existence of forms.
For it alone perceives the forms that are.

والعبد من سرِّه بالحقِّ متحد
God's command, as has been related, is one,
The command of God is one, as it arrived,
and the servant, through his secret, is united with the Real.
The servant's inner mystery with Truth is fused.

فما ترى جسداً إلا ويعقبه

إذا مضى عينه من حينه جسد
Thus you see no body but it is followed,
No form you see but that it will be followed,
the moment its very being passes away, by another body.
Once its predestined term as form has passed.
