انظر إلى العرش على مائة

سفينة تجري بأسمائِهِ

Behold the throne upon a hundred

Ships that sail with His names

واعجبْ له من مكربٍ دائر

قد أودعَ الخلقَ بأحشائِهِ

And wonder at the revolving dome for Him

In which He placed all of creation

يسبح في بحر بلا ساحلٍ

فيحِندِسِ الغيب وظلمائه

It swims in a shoreless sea

Penetrating the unseen and its darkness

وموجه أحوالُ عشّاقه

وريحه أنفاسُ أبنائه

Its waves are the states of its lovers

Its wind the breaths of its children

فلو تراه بالورى سائراً

من ألِفِ الخط إلى يائه

If you could see it moving through the lands

From the first letter to the last letter

ويرجع العود على بدئه

ولا نهايات لإبدائه

And the string returns to its beginning

With no end to its initiation

يكوِّر الصبحَ على ليلِه

وصبحه يفنى بإمسائه

It folds the dawn upon its night

And its dawn fades with its evening

فانظر إلى الحكمة سيارةً

في وسط الفلك وأرجائه

So behold wisdom circling

Amidst the cosmos and its edges

ومن أتى يرغب في شانه

يقعد في الدنيا بسيسائه

And whoever comes desiring its affair

Sits in the world with its guardianship

حتى يرع في نفسه فلكه

وصنعة الله بإنشائه

Until the orbit of his soul revolves

By the making of God and His creation
