الكسب منه ما أنا كاسبٌ

فرهن نفسي ما الذي أوجبه

I gain from Him what I gain

So I pledged my soul, for what did I oblige it?

ما أعجب الأمر الذي قلته

على صحيح العلم ما أعجبه

How strange is the matter I stated

With true knowledge, how strange it seems to him

وقد يقول الحقُّ من عنده

من أقدر الخلقِ ومن أكسبه

And truth may say from His side

Who is the most powerful of creation, and who gives him gain

إلا أنا فالفعل مني به

فلا تقل في العبد ما أكذبه

Except Me, so the action is from Me through him

So do not say about the servant what makes him a liar

يصدق في الفعل إذا قال لي

برهاننا الكاتب ما أكتبه

He is truthful in the action when He says to me

Our proof is the Writer, what He writes
