ظهرت لعين الكون من غير رؤية
وغير ابتداء ظاهر الأحدية
You appeared to the eye of creation without being seen,
and without beginning—the Manifest of Divine Oneness.
ظهورك بالاحسان يا ظاهر انجلى
على وجه ذرات الوجود البديعة
Your manifestation through beneficence, O Manifest One, shone clear
upon the faces of the wondrous atoms of existence.
ظهرت عياناً لا لإدراك باصر
ولكن بتفريج الكروب العظيمة
You appeared openly, not within a beholder’s perception,
but through the relief of grievous afflictions,
وبالقدرة المخصوص ربي بشأنها
على السل والايجاب والممكنية
and through the power by which my Lord is uniquely distinguished
over negation, affirmation, and possibility;
وبالغلب والاجبار والقهر سيدي
فما ذرة إلا لعلمك ذلت
and through dominance, compulsion, and subjugation, my Master—
not an atom but has humbled itself before Your knowledge.
وبالمظهر الأسنى بكل دلالة
يقينية لم تخف عن ذي بصيرة
And through the most exalted manifestation, with every indication
certain and concealed from no one possessed of insight;
وبالعون والترزيق يا ظاهر انجلى
ظهورك والألطاف والمددية
and through aid and the granting of provision, O Manifest One, shone clear
Your manifestation, Your graces, and sustaining succor.
وكونك أظهرت الظواهر معلم
يدل على السلطان للظاهرية
That You made manifest all visible things is a sign
pointing to the sovereignty of Manifestness;
وبالحجة العظمى التي أنت أهلها
على الخلق واستولت على كل حجة
and through the supreme proof of which You are the worthy master
against creation—a proof that has prevailed over every proof;
وبالفعل والآيات يا رب والغنى
لذاتك والأحياء والأحدية
and through action and signs, O Lord, and the self-sufficiency
of Your Essence—and through the living beings and Divine Oneness.
بسر الظهور الحق هب لي قوة ال
ظهور بما نرضى على كل ذرة
By the secret of true manifestation, grant me the power of the—
—manifestation we desire, over every atom.
