تعالى الله لم يدركه عقلٌ

ولم تدركْ سواه إذا شهدتا

God cannot be comprehended by reason

Nor can anything other than Him when you witness

فإنْ تطلبْ على ما قلت فيه

إذا أنصفتني فيه وجدتا

If you seek what I said about Him

When you are fair to me about it you will find

جماع الأمر إن الأمر فردٌ

إذا ركبتَ فيه عليك جدتا

The command is singular though commands are many

If you embark on it, it will lead you

وأدركتَ المعارفَ موضحاتٍ

ونال به دليلك ما أردتا

And you will attain elucidated cognitions

And thereby your proof will get what it seeks

وساويتَ المنيب بكلِّ وجهٍ

رآه دليله وعليه زدتا

And you will equalize the penitent in every aspect

His proof beholds Him and you add to it

أقمتَ به وجودك مستفيداً

فلما أنْ حبيتَ به أفدتا

You stand by it, benefiting

So when you love through it you give benefit

وكنت به إماماً ذا نوالٍ

يجود به نداك إذا قصدتا

And you were, through it, an Imam with attainment

Your munificence flows through it if you aim

ومما كان نجد اللومِ تبدو

معالمه لعينك عنه حدتا

And of what would incur blame appears

Its features become visible to your eye through it

فأوفى بالعهود إليه حتى

يكون لك الإله كما عهدتا

So fulfill the pacts to Him until

God becomes for you as you pledged

ولازم بابه بالباء واعبد

بحرفِ اللام يوماً إن عبدتا

And adhere to His door with the letter ba and worship

With the letter lam a day if you worship

ولا تنسى نصيبك من وجود

تحققه لديك إذا عبدتا

And forget not your share of being

Realize it in yourself when you worship

وحاذر سطوة المغرور يوماً

بقلبك في السجود إذا سجدتا

And beware the violence of the deluded one day

In your heart whilst prostrating if you prostrate

ندبتَ لغاية سبقتَ إليها

جيادَ العزم ثم لها أعدتا

You spurred on the steeds of resolve to an end

They preceded you and for it you prepared

إذا ما راية نشرتْ لمجدِ

يمينك نحوها شوقاً مددتا

When the banner of glory was unfurled

Yearningly you extended your right hand toward it
