أسبِّح الله بأسمائه

من كلِّ مذمومٍ ومحمود

I glorify God with His names

From every blameworthy and praised one

إن نطقتْ بحمده ألسنٌ

فبينَ مفقودٍ وموجود

If tongues speak His praise

Between the lost and found

فحامد يجري بإطلاقه

وحامدٌ يجري بتقييد

So the praiser flows with His absoluteness

And the praiser flows with His confinement

وكلهم في حمده محسنٌ

وإن أتوا فيه بتحديد

And all of them are good doers in His praise

Even if they come to it with limitation

وليس في الوسع سوى ما بدا

فإنه جمع بتبديد

And there is no capacity except what appeared

For He gathered with dispersion

لو كان من الوسع لقلنا به

ولم نقل فيه بتجريد

If there was capacity we would have said it

And not said of Him with abstraction

والله إني عابد للهوى

ليس له فأين توحيدي

And God I am a worshipper of passion

I have no so where is my monotheism

حكم الهوى صيَّرني عابداً

لربه فذاك معبودي

The rule of passion made me a worshipper

Of its Lord so that is my worshipped

إني لما جئتُ به منصفٍ

لستُ كمن قد ضلَّ في البيد

I am fairly coming with what I came with

I am not like one who is lost in waste

ولم أقل عجّل لنا قطنا

سخرية يا خيرَ مشهودِ

And I did not say hurry cotton for us

Mockingly, O best witnessed

لا بد من يوم لنا جامعٍ

ما بين منحوسٍ ومسعودِ

There must be a day for us comprehensive

Between ominous and felicitous
