Claude 2

  1. إذا ما ذكرت الله في السرِّو الجهرِ

    ليذكرني ربي بما كان من ذكري

    If I mention God in secret and aloud

    My Lord will remember me for my remembrance

  2. لأنا نقلناه حديثاً معنعناً

    وما زال ذاك النقلُ عنه على ذكري

    For we related it as hearsay

    And that narration about Him remains in my remembrance

  3. فمن كونه كوني ومن عينه عيني

    ومن سرِّه سرّي ومن جهره جهري

    He who is His being is my being and His eye is my eye

    His secret is my secret and His proclamation is my proclamation

  4. ولستُ بغير لا و لا أنا عينه

    فمن أنا عرفني فإني لا أدري

    I am none other than He, nor am I other than His eye

    So whoever knew me, I do not know

  5. فلو كنته عيناً لما كنت جاهلاً

    ولو لم أكنه لم يكن أمره أمري

    For if I were His eye I would not be ignorant

    And if I were not Him, His affair would not be my affair

  6. فميزه عني الذي فيه من غنى

    وميزني عنه الذي بي من الفقر

    So distinguish Him from me by His self-sufficiency

    And distinguish me from Him by my poverty
