الله أنزلَ نوراً يُستضاء به

على فؤاد نبيٍّ سرَّه الله

God sent down a light to be illuminated by

Upon the heart of a prophet whose secret is God's

أتى به روحه من فوق أرقعة

سبعٍ إلى فلبه والسامعُ الله

It came to him, his soul from above the highest

Heaven to his heart, and God is the Hearer

منه إليه به كان النزول له

فليس في الكون إلا الواحدُ الله

From Him to him was the descent, and to Him

So there is none in existence but the One God

والجسمُ والعَرَضُ المشهودُ فيه وما

في الغيب ما ان تراه ذلك الله

The body and attributes witnessed in it, and what

Is unseen, if you do not see it, that is God

ولا تناقضَ فيما قلتُه فأنا

عينُ الكثير وعيني الواحد الله

There is no contradiction in what I say, for I

Am the essence of the many, and My essence is the One God

من اعجب الأمر أن الحكم من عدم

في عين كونٍ فأين العبدُ والله

Of the wonders of the matter is that the Ruler from non-existence

In the essence of existence, so where is the servant and where is God?

فالعين تشهد خلقاً جاء من عدم

والأمر حقاً وعين المبصرِ الله

The eye witnesses creation coming from non-existence

And the matter is truth, and the eye of the Seer is God

له اليمين له العينان في خبر

أتى به منه الآتي هو الله

To Him belongs the right, to Him the two eyes in the news

That came from Him, the Coming One, He is God

فالحكم لي وله عين الوجود وما

للعين مني وجودٌ بل هو الله

So the judgment is mine and His, the eye of existence, and what

The eye has of me is no existence, but He is God

فانظره في شجر وانظره في حجرٍ

وانظره في كل شيء ذلك الله

So look at Him in a tree, and look at Him in a rock

And look at Him in everything, that is God

كل الأسامي له إن كنت تعقله

هو المسمى بها فكلها الله

All the names are His; if you understand Him

He is the One named by them, so all are God

فلو يقول جهولٌ قد جهلت وما

بالله جهلٌ فما كوني هو الله

If an ignorant one says "I am ignorant" and not

By God ignorance, so my being is not God

فقل له ذاك حكم العين فيه ومن

يدري الذي قلته بأنه الله

Say to him "That is the eye's judgment of it, and who

Knows what you said, that it is God?"

ما ثَم والله إلا حيرةٌ ظهرتْ

وبي حلفت وإنَّ المقسم الله

There is nothing, by God, but perplexity made plain

And I swore by it, and the One I swore by is God

لو كان ثَم وجودٌ ما هو الله

لم ينفردْ بالوجودِ الواحدِ الله

If there was any existence other than God

The One would not be alone in existence, God

بل الحدوثُ لنا وما يتابعه

وهذه نسب والثابتُ الله

But origination is for us and what follows it

And these are attributes; the Eternal is God

ينوب عنا وأنا منه في عدمٍ

ونحن نشهدُه والشاهدُ الله

He acts for us while we are in non-existence

And we witness Him, and the Witness is God
