وعقلك لا يملى عليك ولا يدلي
You have relied on reason, seeking God,
I relied on reason, imploring God,
yet your reason neither dictates to you nor voices an opinion.
Yet your reason cannot guide or enlighten you.

And on no day in all of time will you reach
Never in your life have you reached God
God unless you step outside reason.
Except by turning away from reason.
