إنِ النَّاسُ غَطّوني تَغَطَّيتُ عَنهُمُ
وَإن بَحَثوا عَنِّي فَفِيهم مَبَاحِثُ
If people draw a veil over me, I veil myself from them;
but if they probe into me, there are matters in them to probe.
وإن حَفَروا بِئرِي حَفَرتُ بِئَارَهُم
لِيُعلَمَ يَوماً كَيفَ تِلكَ النَّبَائِثُ
And if they dig my well, I shall dig their wells,
so that each may learn one day what those excavations are like.
Sol 5.6
