ما لي وإياك غير الله من سندِ

وفاز من يتخذ ربَّ الورى سندا

You and I have none but Allah as our support

Whoever takes the Lord of the worlds as his support is successful

هو المهيمن فوقَ العرشِ مسكنه

كما يليقُ به ديناً ومعتقدا

He is the Overseer above the Throne is His dwelling

As befits Him in religion and creed

يأتي وينزلُ والألبابُ تطلبه

كما روينا على المعنى الذي قَصَدا

He comes and descends while minds seek Him

As We have recounted concerning the intended meaning

ومن يكون على ما قلت فيه فقد

وفى بما كلف الإنسان واقتصدا

Whoever is as I have said regarding Him has

Fulfilled what was enjoined upon man and been moderate

ودع مقالةَ قومٍ قال عالمهم

بأنه بالإله الواحدِ اتّحدا

Leave the talk of people whose scholar said

That He is unified with the One God

الاتحاد محال لا يقول به

إلا جهولٌ به عن عقلِه شَرَدا

Unification is impossible, none speak it

Except an ignorant one, straying from his reason

وعن حقيقتِه وعن شريعته

فاعبد إلهك لا تشرِك به أحدا

And from His reality and from His Law

So worship your God, do not associate any with Him

وانهض إلى واهب الأسرار تحظ به

ولتتخذ عنده قبلَ القدومِ يدا

And rise to the Granter of mysteries, you will gain Him

And take before the arrival a hand with Him

عليه من دارك الدنيا ومن فكر

تظن من أجلها في حيرة أبدا

From your earthly abode and from thought

You think because of it in endless confusion

وكن إماما ولا تسعى لمفسدة

بكلِّ وجهٍ وكنْ في الحكم مجتهدا

And be an imam and do not pursue corruption

In any way, and be assiduous in judgment

ولا تغالط بتعطيلٍ وأقيسَةٍ

وكنْ عن الرأي والتقليد مُنفردا

And do not err through invalidating and rationalizing

And be unique in opinion and following

إني نصحتك والرحمن يشهد لي

كما أمرتُ وهذا كله وردا

I have advised you and the Merciful bears witness for me

As I was commanded, and all this is a gift
