Sol 6.1

  1. خُذ حلَّ إِشكال أَشكال أشرت لَها

    بِخَمسة مِن بُيوت الشعر نِلت عُلى

    Take the solution to the puzzle of the figures I have indicated

    in five verses of poetry—may you attain eminence.

  2. وَخُذ رُموز القَضايا مِن أَوائل ما

    بِهنَّ مِن كَلِمات تبلغِ الأَمَلا

    And take the symbols of the propositions from the initial letters

    of the words in them, and you will attain your goal.

  3. فَالكاف لِلموجب الكلّي وَسالبه

    لامٌ وَسينٌ لِسَلب الجُزء قَد جعلا

    Thus kāf denotes the universal affirmative; its negative is

    lām, while sīn is assigned to the particular negative.

  4. وَموجب الجزء باءٌ وَهيَ أَربَعَةٌ

    بِها بَيان ضُروب الشَكل قَد حَصَلا

    And bāʾ denotes the particular affirmative; these are four.

    Through them, the moods of the figure have been made clear.

  5. كَفاك كافيك كُن لِلّه بَدر هُدى

    كَمال برّك لِلمَولى أَجلُّ وَلا

    He who suffices you is enough for you; be for God a full moon of guidance.

    The perfection of your devotion to the Lord is the noblest loyalty.

  6. كَفى كَمالك برّاً كم كَساك بهاً

    كِل لؤم باغٍ لِكافي كلّ من سألا

    Your perfection is virtue enough; how much splendor it has clothed you in!

    Entrust an oppressor's malice to Him who suffices all who ask.

  7. كُن كاملاً كانَ بالتقوى لهُ كلف

    كما له بالتُقى لا سائما كسلا

    Be perfect, one whose passion has been for piety,

    likewise devoted to godliness, neither weary nor idle.

  8. كَمال سُؤلك لِلمَولى بِخيرته

    خَتم النَبيين خَتم بِالتُقى عَملا

    The fulfillment of your plea to the Lord through His chosen one,

    the Seal of the Prophets, is to seal a deed with piety.
