لو كان للَه شبه من خليقته

كانت دلائله من خلقه فيه

If God had a likeness among His creation

The signs of His making would be manifest in it

قد كان مقتضياً من نشو صانعه

ما يقتضي النشو من آثار ناشيه

It would require of the rising of its Maker

What the rising requires of the vestiges of one rising

لكنه جل عن أوهام واصفه

فالحسن يعدمه والعقل يبديه

But He is beyond the fancies of the describer

So perfection cannot attain Him and reason only points to Him
