الحمد لله بأسمائه
الظاهر الباطن عن خلقهِ
Praise be to God with His names
The Manifest, the Hidden from His creation
في خلقه فكلهم عينه
لذاك أجراه على وفقه
In His creation, so all of them are His eye
Therefore He regulated it according to His ordinance
نحيى به أعضاء إنسانها
وهو لنا كالمسك في حقه
We live by it, the members of His human
And He is for us like musk in His right
تشبيهه الرؤية لا عينه
كالشمسِ أو كالبدر في أفقه
His similitude of sight, not His eye
Like the sun or like the full moon on its horizon
من فهم المر الذي قلته
صير عين الغرب في شرقه
Whoever understood the matter I have said
Will make the West's eye in its East
