فهو القوي إذا قضى
وهو القوي إذا منحْ
He is the Powerful when He ordains
And He is the Powerful when He bestows
فالحمدُ لله الذي
بهما على قلبي فتح
So praise be to Allah who
With both has unlocked my heart
إني رأيتُ الحقَّ وال
ميزان في يده رجح
Indeed I saw the Truth and the
Scale in His hand tipping
فسألته ما يبتغي
فأجاب ما يدري فصح
So I asked what He seeks
And He answered clearly expressing
قولُ الخلائق كلهم
إن الكريم له المنح
The words of all creatures
That the Bountiful has the bestowal
ما زلت أعبده له
والمؤمنين ومن صلح
I still worship Him for His sake
And the believers and the righteous
من ليس يعبده كذا
بين الخلائق يفتضح
Whoever does not worship Him so
Among the creatures stands disgraced
وإذا فهمت مقالتي
زند المشاهد ينقدح
And when you understand my words
The witness's spark is lit
فترى الذي قد قلته
من نور زندك قد وضح
So you see what I have said
From the light of your spark made clear
فاقدح زنادَ وجوده
فالكشف فيه لمن قدح
So light the spark of His existence
For in it lies the unveiling for the lit
إني نصحتكم وقد
أدَّى الأمانة من نصح
I have advised you and
The trusted one has fulfilled the advice
