لله نفسٌ وللرحمنِ أنفاسٌ

وللمنازعِ فيما قلت إبلاس

God has a soul, and the Merciful has breaths,

And for the disputant in what I said, frustration,

وللموافقِ فيما قلته طربٌ

وفرحةٌ وسرورٌ فيه إيناسُ

And for the consenter in what I said, joy,

Happiness and pleasure in which there is fellowship.

من آنس النور ناراً عند حاجته

بالواد بالطورِ لم يأتيه إقباس

Whoever hoped for light, found fire when needed,

In the valley, in the mountain, it did not come to him as a spark

فآض وهو كليمُ الله ليس له

سوى غنى ليس فيه الدهر إفلاس

So he flowed while being God's interlocutor, he has

Nothing but wealth in which there is no bankruptcy

أغناه عن طلبِ المطلوبِ في قبس

ولم يكن ثم إلا الشربُ والكاسُ

It made him needless of seeking the sought in a spark

And there was nothing there but a drink and a cup

نديمه عينُ ساقيه فليس له

في غيره غرضٌ فناسُه الناس

His boon companion is the eye of his cupbearer so he has

No other purpose, he forgot people

إني سمعتُ كلامَ الله من أذني

من بلة قدر كفي ما بها باس

I heard the words of God with my ears

From an affliction, it sufficed me what in it is fatigue
