ما نظرتْ عيني إلى

شيء تراه فأرى

My eyes have never seen

Anything that you see, but I see

إلا الذي قال لنا

بأنه الخلق برى

Except for He who told us

That He created all beings

قلتُ فمن قيل لنا

من المياه والثرى

I said, so who told us

Of the water and the soil?

فليس في الكون الذي

تراه من غير يرى

There is none in the universe

That you see without Him seeing

سواه فانظر عجباً

يدري به من قد درى

Except for Him, so behold the wonder

Known by those who truly know

إنَّ الوجودَ واحدٌ

في عينه دون امترا

That existence is one

In His sight, without doubt

وكلُّ من قال به

في حقه فما افترى

And all who spoke of Him

Spoke truthfully, without lies

فنحن فيه كلنا

كأصيَد في جوفِ الفرا

For we are all in Him

Like prey in the belly of the hunter

والجوفُ منه فارغٌ

والحقُّ ما فيه مِرا

And the belly is empty of Him

And the truth is, there is no Him in it

قد قلن ما ذا بشراً

بل مَلكاً فيما نرى

We have said, what is this creature

Rather, an angel in what we see?

ولم يكن بملك

ما كان إلا بَشَرا

And there was no angel

Except a human being

فهكذا أمر الإ

له في الوجودِ والورى

So this is the command of God

In existence and all creation
