من سأل الله في أمور

عن أمره لم يخب سؤالهْ

He who asked of God for matters

About His will did not fail in his request

وجاءه في الجوابِ منه

ما فيه أن حققوا كمالهْ

And he received in answer from Him

What in it accomplished his perfection

إن الذي تنتهي المعالي

في كلِّ شيء له مآله

Indeed, the ultimate of glories

In everything has its consequence

وليس بعد الكمال نقصٌ

إن أنت أنصفتني مثاله

And after perfection there is no defect

If you judge me rightly in its likeness

عبد وربٌّ هل ثم غير

قد انتهى عينُه وحاله

A servant and a Lord - is there anything else?

His essence and state have ended

لله قومٌ لما ذكرنا

تحققوا فيه هم رجاله

For God there are people when we mentioned

They realized through Him, they are His men

في كلِّ حال لهم جودٌ

فهم لما قلته عياله

In every state they have generosity

So what I said, they are its dependents

عار عليهم فما حواهم

في ذكره غيره مقاله

A disgrace be upon them, yet He sheltered them

In mentioning Him, not another's words

وكلُّ شخصٍ على انفراد

من مثله قد حماه ماله

And each person, singularly

From the like of him has protected his wealth

بالمالِ مالَ الورى إليه

لذاك يرجوهمُ نواله

With wealth, the wealth of the world to Him

Thus they hope from Him favor

وما لهم في الرجاءِ عينٌ

ومَن له لم يزلْ وباله

They have no eye in hoping

And he who has did not cease to be tested

وليس ذاك الشخيصُ منهم

وهو الذي لم يخب سؤاله

That individual is not of them

He who did not fail his request

لم يفتقر في الورى إليهم

لأنه لم يقم جماله

He did not need from them in the world

For his perfection did not stand

بهم فلم يعرفوا كراماً

فحاله بينهم خلالُه

Through them so they did not know generosity

Thus his state separated him from them
