ويا محصيَ الأشياء علماً وحيطة

وقهراً وتقديراً وتدبير حكمة

O you who comprehensively counts all things, knowledgeably and wisely,

Masterfully ordaining, determining, and governing with wisdom,

احطت وأحصيت الوجود وما به

فما أفلت الاحصاء مثقال ذرة

You have encompassed and counted all existence and what is in it,

So that not an atom's weight escapes your counting,

بصير بما أظهرت من كل ظاهر

خبير بما أبطنته من خفية

Seeing what you have manifested of all that is manifest,

Knowing what you have hidden of all that is secret,

وأحصيت حفظاً طاعتي وتبتلي

وأحصيت حالاتي وطوري وفطرتي

And you have counted, protecting my obedience and testing me,

And you have counted my states, stages, and innate nature,

وأحصيت ما يأتي وما يذر العدى

وما أضمروا من سيئات الطوية

And you have counted what will come and what the appointed term will leave,

And what they have secretly harbored of evil intentions,

وأحصيت ذرات المقاصد مطلقاً

وأحصيت أعمالي وقولي ونيتي

And you have counted the atoms of purposes absolutely,

And you have counted my deeds, words, and intentions,

وأحصيت أرزاق النفوس مقدراً

لكل بوفق الحكمة المصلحية

And you have counted the provisions for souls, determining,

For each according to wisdom and what is beneficial,

وأحصيت أرزاق القلوب تنزلاً

لها حسب الاستعداد والقابلية

And you have counted the provisions for hearts, sending down

To them according to preparedness and receptivity,

وأحصيت أسرار الهدايات مورداً

لهائمة الأرواح بحر الحقيقة

And you have counted the mysteries of guidance, providing

To the beasts of spirits the sea of reality,

أقمني يا محصي رقيباً ومحصياً

لفعلي وتركي عند جهري وخلوتي

Establish me, O Counter, as a watcher and counter

Of my deeds and refrainings, in public and solitude,

وسخر لي الامكان قلباً وقالباً

ومكن مقامي من نفوذ مشيئتي

And subjugate to me the means of heart and body,

And establish my position with the influence of my will.
