يرى الحق أعمالي بما هو ذو بصر

وما عندنا من ذاك علمٌ ولا خبرُ

He sees the truth of my deeds with his all-seeing vision

While we have no knowledge or news of that

ولما أتى الشرعُ الذي خُص بالهدى

به نحو ما قلنا به مثل ما أمر

And when the Law came which was singled out for guidance

We inclined toward what we said, and likewise what He ordered

ولا تك ممن قال فيه بأنه

مزيدُ وضوحِ العلم في عالم البشر

And be not of those who said of it that

It is an increase in the clarity of knowledge in the world of mankind

فذلك قولٌ لا خفاءَ بنقضِه

وإنْ كان مدلولاً عليه بما ذكر

For that is a saying whose falseness is not obscure

Even if what is signified by it is what was mentioned
