أقسم بالسماءِ ذاتِ الحيك

وقال لا تقسم إلا بالملكْ

I swear by the embroidered sky

And it said, "Do not swear except by the King."

عظمتكم إذ كنتمُ إلى قسما

فعظموني مثل تعظيمِ الملكْ

Your greatness when you were swearing

So they made me great like the glorification of a King.

تعظيمه منزَّه مقدَّس

من كلِّ ما يحدثه دور الفلكْ

His glorification is sanctified and holy

From everything the orbit of stars brings about.

وما لمخلوقٍ به معرفةٌ

إلا إذا العبدُ إلى الله سَلَك

No creature has knowledge of Him

Except when a servant travels towards God.

وكلُّ مَنْ يسلك نحوي قاصداً

هو الذي سِرَّ الوجودِ قد ملك

And everyone who travels towards me with purpose

Is the one who has mastered the secret of existence.

وما سواه ضل في مهلكةٍ

تاه بها منفرداً حتى هلك

And anything else has gone astray into ruin

Lost in it alone until perishing.

قلت متى يشهدك الوصف الذي

تعلمه قال إذا الشمس دلك

I said "When will the description that

You know bear witness to You?" He said, "When the sun rises."
