أَنتَ المُخاطَبُ أَيُّها الإِنسانُ

فَأَصِخ إِلَيَّ يَلُح لَكَ البُرهانُ

You are the one addressed, O human

So listen to me, clear is the proof to you

أُودِعتَ ما لَو قُلتُهُ لَكَ قُلتَ لي

هَذا لَعَمرُكَ كُلُّهُ هُذيانُ

I have given you what had I told you, you would have said to me

This is, by your life, nothing but raving delirium

فَاِنظُر بِعَقلِكَ مِن بَنانِكَ وَاِعتَبِر

إِتقانَ صَنعَتِهِ فَثَمَّ الشانُ

So look with your mind, from your insides, and contemplate

The perfection of His creation, so sublime is His craftsmanship

لِلَّهِ أَكياسٌ جَفَوا أَوطانَهُم

فَالأَرضُ أَجمَعُها لَهُم أَوطانُ

God has servants whose homelands have dried out

So the whole earth is home to them

جالَت عُقولُهُم مَجالَ تَفَكُّرٍ

وَتَدَبُّرٍ فَبَدا لَها الكِتمانُ

Their minds roamed in the expanse of thought

And contemplation, so the concealment became evident to them

رَكِبَت بِحارَ الفَهمِ في فَلَكِ النُهى

وَجَرى بِها الإِخلاصُ وَالإيمانُ

They rode the sea of understanding in the orbit of restraint

And sincerity and faith flowed through them

فَرَسَت بِهِم لَمّا أَتَوا مَحبوبَهُم

مَرسىً لَهُم فيهِ غِنىً وَأَمانُ

So when they came to their Beloved

He anchored them in Him, their sufficiency and safety
