تحقق فإن الروح في الكل واحدُ

ولا شيء إلا الروح يدريه واجدُ

Verify that the spirit in all is one

And nothing but the spirit knows it, present

وذلك من أمر الإله كما أتى

وما الأمر إلا واحد وهو شاهد

And that is from God's command as it came

And the command is only one, it's evident

وذو الأمر وهو الله لا شك أنه

هو الواحد المقصود والكل قاصد

And the one with the command, who's God, no doubt

He's the one intended, the all were ardently seeking

وقد صار ذاك الروح كل العقول وال

نفوس وأجسام الورى تتوارد

And that spirit became all the minds and the

Souls and bodies of creation converging

فتظهر أغياراً له وهو عينها

يحس به الذوق السليم المشاهد

So it shows as different from it yet it's essence

Is sensed by the perceptive and seeing

وذو الجهل بالمحسوس يحسب كثرة

ويتبعه في الوهم عقل معاند

While the ignorant by sensations thinks multiplicity

And follows fancy, and an obstinate mind is misleading

ويلمح ذاك الروح كالبرق ظاهراً

عن الأمر غيب الغيب ثم يعاود

And that spirit flashes like lightning revealed

From the unseen of the unseen, then recurring

على مقتضى الأسماء وهي جميعها

هي الوجه وجه الله في النص وارد

According to the names' requirements, all of them

Are the face, God's face in text recurring

وللوجه كان الروح مرآته التي

تلوح بها آثاره والمقاصد

And for the face was the spirit its mirror

In which its traces and intentions were appearing

فتظهر في الروح العوالم كلها

عكوس مرادات الإله شوارد

So in the spirit all the worlds manifest

Reflections of God's purposes wandering

وترتيبها في العلم يظهر هكذا

لدينا فمولود وأم ووالد

And their arrangement in knowledge appears this

Way to us - so born, mother, and father

ومن حس في المرآة صورة وجهه

فللوجه والمرآة ذا الحس رافد

And whoever felt in the mirror his face's image

To the face and the mirror this feeling is tribute

وبالصورة المرآة عنه تسترت

فظن الذي قد ظن والعقل راقد

And through the image the mirror hides from him

So the one who supposed, and the mind was dormant

ومن أجل هذا قال أهل طريقنا

خيال وظل ما عن الحق وافد

And for this reason the people of our path said

Phantom and shadow what came from the Real wasn't evident

ولم يعرف المسكين ما قال عارف

وقد ظن سوءاً وهو للحق جاحد

And the poor soul didn't know what the knower said

And thought badly while to the Real he wasponent

فلو وفق الرحمن ذلك للهدى

رأى نقصه في نفسه فيجاهد

If the Merciful granted him guidance

He'd see his deficiencies, so he'd struggle

ويصبح مشغولاً ويمسي بنفسه

وقلب له في كل ما عاق زاهد

And be busy by day and night with himself

With a heart detached from all that was deficient

ولكنه الممقوت من حكم ربه

عليه ولا يدري وما هو راشد

But he, despised by his Lord's judgement

Upon him, knows not, and is not guided
