ريان فلكي عين الحق تحفظه

وهو السفينة والأمواج والماءُ

Cosmic ray, God's eye preserves it

It is the ship, the waves, and the water

تجري بأعينه والعينُ واحدةٌ

ممن وقل لي إلى من فهي أسماءُ

It flows with His eyes, though the eye is one

Tell me, from whom and to whom are they names?

ما في الوجود سوى هذا وكان لنا

في كل حادثة رمز وإيماء

Nothing exists but this, and for us

In every incident, a symbol and a gesture

الله يحفظنا منه ويحفظه

منا فتحن الأذلاء الأعزاء

May God protect us from it and protect it

From us, so the lowly and the noble opened

به اعتززنا كما بنا يعزّ وهل

يحلُّ رمزي إلا الواو والهاءُ

Through it we were ennobled, as through us He is exalted

Can my symbol be resolved except into Waw and Ha?

مضى وجودي به عني فلستُ أنا

ولستُ هن وهي أغراضٌ وآراء

My existence passed through it, I am no longer I

Nor am I they, but objects and opinions

قد قلت ذلك عن علمٍ وعن ثقة

بما أقول وراح اللام والياء

I have said this with knowledge and certainty

About what I say, and the L and the Y departed

فلا به كان كون لا و لا وله

وعنه كان فأمراضٌ وأدواء

So neither by it was there being nor nothingness, but by it

Were illness and disease

لذاك قيل بمعلولٍ وعلة

من أجل ذا ثَم أسرارٌ وأشياءُ

Thus it was said, with cause and causation

For that, then, secrets and things

ونحن نعلمها وهو العليم بها

حين التوالد آباء وأبناء

We know them, and He knows them

At the time of genesis, fathers and sons

هو الشخيص الذي لا ريبَ يلحقنا

فيه ونحن ظلالاتٌ وأفياء

He is the essence to which we undoubtedly will return

In it, while we are shadows and phantoms

لولا السنا ما بدت منه الظلالُ و لا

إليه يقبض فالأنوار آباء

Had He not created us, no shadows would appear

And to Him they shrink, so lights are fathers

والشخص أم لها وعنه قد ظهرتْ

وفيه كانت فإظهار وإخفاء

And the essence is their mother, and through it

They appeared, so manifestation and hiding
