لما حللت مقامَ القلبِ إدريساً
ولم أجد فيه تخييلاً وتلبيسا
When I entered the heart’s station as Idris,
And found therein neither illusion nor deception,
حللت من مشكلاتِ العلمِ ما انعقدت
فكلُّ ذي علَّةٍ بشرحها يوصى
I unraveled whatever had grown knotted among the problems of knowledge;
Thus everyone with an affliction is counseled through its elucidation.
ورثت منه النبيّ المصطفى وكذا
مع الذي عندنا من روحه عيسى
From him I inherited the Chosen Prophet, and likewise
Jesus, together with what we possess of his spirit;
وآدم ثم إبراهيم والدنا
وداود والكليم المجتبى موسى
And Adam, then Abraham, our father,
And David, and Moses, God’s chosen interlocutor.
Sol 5.6
