عفا رسمُ من أهوى وليس سوانا

وكنا له عند النزولِ مكانا

The drawing of the one I love has become erased

And we were for it a place of descent

لقد ضاق عنه أرضه وسماؤه

وبالسَّعة المثلى لديه حبانا

The earth and sky have become too narrow for it

And with the most ample spaciousness, it has endowed us

وما وسعَ الرحمنَ إلا وجودنا

كأنا على العرشِ العظيم بنانا

And none has encompassed the Beneficent except our existence

As if we were pillars upon the Mighty Throne

ولما وسعنا الحقّ جل جلالُه

نعمنا به علما به وعِيانا

And when the Truth, Majestic is His Majesty, encompassed us

He blessed us with knowledge of Him and vision

ولم نتخذ غير المهيمن ساكنا

ولم يتخذ بيتا يكون سوانا

And we have not taken other than the All-Dominating as a dweller

Nor has He taken a house that would rival us

لقد جاد لي ربي بكل فضيلةٍ

وآتانِ منه بسطةً وبيانا

Indeed my Lord has been generous to me with every virtue

And given me amplitude and elucidation from Him

إذا نحن جئناه على كلِّ حالة

بضعف الذي جئنا إليه أتانا

When we came to Him in every state

With the weakness by which we came to Him

إذا نحن أثنينا عليه بذاتنا

وكان لنا منك الشهود أمانا

When we praised Him through our essence

And your witnessing was safety for us

على كلِّ ما قلناه فيك وعصمةٌ

فما ثم عينٌ في الوجود ترانا

In everything we have said regarding You and infallibility

No eye in existence sees us
