الأمر لله والمأمور في عدم

فإن أضيف له التكوين يكذبه

The command belongs to God, while nothingness

Obeyed. If I ascribe creation to Him, it contradicts Him.

بل كن لربك والتكوين ليس له

وإنما هو للمأمور يصحبُه

Rather, be for your Lord while creation is not His.

It is only for nothingness accompanying Him.

كذا أتاك به نص الكتابِ وما

أتى له ناسخٌ في الحال يعقبه

Thus the text of the Scripture came to you with it.

No abrogator came to it, following it.

سيحانه من غنيّ لا افتقارَ له

لعالمِ الكونِ والأسماء تطلبه

Glory be to Him, the Self-Sufficient, needing nothing,

For the world of creation and the names seeking Him.

وهو المسمى بها والعين واحدةٌ

وليس تدركه إذ عز مطلبه

He is the one called by them, the essence being one.

You cannot attain Him, for His quest is mighty.
