إن الوجودَ وجودَ ربك لا تقل

فيما تراه من الوجودِ برمتهْ

Existence is the existence of your Lord, do not say

In what you see of existence in its entirety

خلقاً فذاك الخلقُ في أعيانها

واقسمه فالعلم الصحيح بقسمتهْ

Creation, for that creation in its realities

And divide it, so the correct knowledge is in its division

هبت عليك إذا قسمتَ وجودَه

قسماً صحيحاً نفحته من قسمته

If you divide His existence

A correct division, its breeze is from its division

أنا لا فضل أمّة خرجتْ لنا

من أجل شخصٍ إنني من أمَّته

I am not superior to any nation that

Emerged for us because of any person, I am from his nation

لما تقسمتِ المراتبُ كلها

أبدى لك التحقيقُ صحةَ قسمته

When all the ranks were divided

The investigation showed you the correctness of its division

سلخ النهار لعينِ كلِّ محققٍ

سلخاً يشعشعُ نورَه من ظلمته

The day peeled for the eye of every investigator

A peel whose light shines from its darkness

أبداه للأبصار بعد حجابه

والليلُ مستورٌ بخالصِ حكمته

He showed it to sights after its veil

And the night is covered with the essence of His wisdom

من ضمه أعطاه كلَّ مكتم

من علمه كشفاً له في ضمته

Whoever He gathered, He gave everything hidden

To him from knowledge, an unveiling for him in his gathering

ظن اللعينُ قصدَّقوا ما ظنه

فيهم فقابله الرحيم برحمته

The accursed thought, they believed what he thought

About them, so the Merciful met him with His mercy

إلا القليلُ فإنهم عضموا بما

شكروا لما أولاهمُ من نعمته

Except a few, as they were strengthened by what

They thanked when He granted them from His bounty

فلذاك زادهم الإله أيادياً

واختص من كفرِ النعيم بنقمته

So for that God increased them with more hands

And singled out the ungrateful from the blessing with His vengeance

فإذا وفي العبد المطيع بعهده

لله قامَ له الإله بحرمته

So when the obedient servant fulfills his covenant

With God, God stands for him with His sanctity

لولا الكذوب لما علمت محققاً

شرف الذي خص الإله بعصمته

If not for the lies, I would not have known an investigator

The honor of the one God distinguished with His protection

كالأنبياءِ ومن جرى مجراهمُ

من وارثٍ أمنوا بها من فصمته

Like the prophets and those who followed their course

From the inheritors who believed it from His judgment

يغتم من يدري الذي قد قلته

لمقالتي ونجاته في غمتهْ

Whoever knows what I have said worries

Because of my words and his salvation in his worry

وبهمّ بي فيردّه تنينه

عني فيرجع همه عن همته

And is anxious about me, so his dragon

Turns it away from me, so his worry turns from his worry

الكون كور عمامة عمَّتْ به

رأسَ الوجودِ ونحن داخلَ عمته

The universe is a dome that has covered

The head of existence, and we are inside its covering

فانظر تر ما نحن فيه فإنه

علم يعزُّ فحصلّوه لبهمته

So look and see what we are in, as it is

Knowledge that is difficult to obtain, so acquire it for its significance

نهمٌ يحصله ويعلمُ أنه

مع أنه قد حازه في نهمته

Anxiety that obtains it and knows that he

Although he has obtained it in his anxiety

لا يرتوي ظمئانٌ فاهُ فاغرٌ

ريانُ لا يشكو الجواد لحشمته

A thirsty one with an open mouth does not quench

One quenched does not complain of generosity for his valour

إن الوجودَ لمن تحقق علمُه

ذوقٌ ترى أشياخه في علمته

Existence for one who realizes His knowledge

Is a taste which you see its elders in its banner

صحَّ المزاجُ فصحَّ منه قبولهم

علماً بقدر إمامه وبقيمته

The disposition became healthy, so their acceptance became healthy

With knowledge according to its leader and by its worth
