للباء سِرٌّ عظيم لو أبوح به

لكنت أوّلَ من أفتى بسفك دمي

The baa has a great secret, if I divulge it

I would be the first to sanction shedding my blood

بها الجود بدا وهي الحجاب لنا

فمن تجاوز ردَّته يدُ القِدَم

Through it benevolence appeared, and it is the veil for us

So whoever goes beyond it, the foot of eternity turns them back

وهي المرام لمن رام الوجود ومن

يحلّ منها بساطَ البَسط لم يُضَم

And it is the goal for whoever desires existence, and whoever

Unfurls from it the carpet of creation will not be blamed

إذا بدَّت ظلَّت الأشخاص شاخصة

لها وعنها يكلّ الطرف وهو عمي

When it appears, personalities stand out prominent

For it, and the eye turns away from it, blind

تكثَّرت بحلاها وهي واحدةٌ

من حيث أسماؤها الحسنى لمُفتَهم

It multiplied through its beauty, while it is one

From where its beautiful names are understood

كست بألوانها الأكوان قاطبة

ثوب الجود فزالت ظلمة العدم

It clothed the whole creation in its colors

The garment of generosity, so the darkness of nonexistence vanished

فكان ما كان مما قد ترى ونرى

من وحدةٍ حجبت بالحرف والكلم

So what was happened from what you see and we see

Of a oneness veiled by letters and words
