من كان وجهَ الحق لا يهلك

من كان وجهَ الحق لا يهلك

ويملك الكونَ ولا يملكْ

ويملك الكونَ ولا يملكْ

Whoever is the face of the Real does not perish,

Whoever's face is towards the truth will never perish

and possesses the cosmos, yet is not possessed,

And possesses the universe yet nothing possesses him

ويدرك الشيءَ بلا آلة

ويدرك الشيءَ بلا آلة

حسيةٍ منه ولا يُدرَك

حسيةٍ منه ولا يُدرَك

and perceives the thing without an instrument

And comprehends all things without any sense faculty from him nor can be comprehended

of sense belonging to Him; nor is He perceived.

Whoever witnessed the command sees that when proofs are established for him through what is comprehended

من شهدَ الأمرَ يرى أنه

من شهدَ الأمرَ يرى أنه

إذا تحققتْ به المدرك

إذا تحققتْ به المدرك

Whoever has witnessed the matter sees that

His names disappear from the world and his eye is the eye that comprehends

when the perceiver becomes realized through Him,

So if he contends with it or with us then he has power over all that

تفنى من العالم أسماؤه

تفنى من العالم أسماؤه

وعينه العينُ التي تدرَك

وعينه العينُ التي تدرَك

His names vanish from the world,

Our explanation here leads to whoever unified the command is the idolater

and His essence is the essence that is perceived.

And that if it were not for me nothing would have existed neither ruling nor me so leave it

فإن تشاقلت به أو بنا

فإن تشاقلت به أو بنا

فإنه بكلِّ ذا أملك

فإنه بكلِّ ذا أملك

So if you weigh yourself against Him or against us,

And if there is then there is nothing for me just a metaphor so tell them to associate

then He has greater mastery over all this.

For whoever does not have his names with him then he is a fabricator

تفصيلُنا هذا يؤدِّي إلى

تفصيلُنا هذا يؤدِّي إلى

من وحد الأمر هو المشرك

من وحد الأمر هو المشرك

This exposition of ours leads to the conclusion

that whoever makes the matter one is the polytheist,

وأنَّه لولا أنا لم يكن

وأنَّه لولا أنا لم يكن

حكمٌ ولا ثَم أنا فاتركوه

حكمٌ ولا ثَم أنا فاتركوه

and that, were it not for 'I', there would be no

judgment; yet there is no 'I' there, so leave it.

وإنْ يكن ثم فما ثم لي

وإنْ يكن ثم فما ثم لي

كناية فقل لهم شرّكوا

كناية فقل لهم شرّكوا

And if it is there, then there is for me no

pronoun; so tell them, 'Associate partners!'

فإنه من لم يكن عنده

فإنه من لم يكن عنده

اسماؤه فإنه يؤفك

اسماؤه فإنه يؤفك

For whoever does not have

His names is indeed led astray.
