  1. لو خلق الله وجوداً للورى

    لكان مثله ومثله افترا

    If God had created a counterpart in existence

    It would have been like Him, and that's impossible

  2. والله ليس مثله شيء كما

    قد جاء في القرآن عند من قرا

    God has no equal, as stated

    In the Quran for those who have read

  3. والوهم في العقول ذاهب إلى

    أن الوجود اثنان هكذا جرى

    The notion that there are two existences

    Is a fanciful illusion

  4. وجود خلق ووجود خالق

    هو اشتراك وهو شرك يُمترى

    One existence being creation, the other being Creator

    That is association, which is idolatry

  5. وإنما الخلق جميعاً عدم

    مقدِّرٌ له الإلهُ قدرا

    In truth, all creation is nonexistence

    Which God predestined into existence

  6. وكلهم في العلم مفروضاته

    وعلمه القديم محلول العرى

    Known to Him from eternity past

    Before He brought them into reality

  7. وقد تجلى بالتقادير التي

    قدرها جميعها فظهرا

    He then manifested them through the precise decrees

    He preordained, so they appeared

  8. منزهاً مقدساً عنها وعن

    جميع ما في العقل قد تصورا

    Transcendent and sanctified, distinct from

    All that the mind conjectures

  9. فهو الوجود الحق ظاهر لنا

    وباطن عن غيرنا مستترا

    He alone is true Existence, outwardly manifest

    Yet inwardly concealed from others' perception

  10. لأن غيرنا يرى تقديره

    ولا يراه لا رأى ولا درى

    For others only see His decree

    But not Him, neither in vision nor in consciousness

  11. وكل تقدير بلا مقدر

    هو المحال المحض في عقل الورى

    A decree without a decreer

    Is logically impossible in reason's realm

  12. ومن يصور صورة من عدم

    فإنه وجودها الذي يرى

    One who forms an image from nothingness

    Is himself the existence beholding it

  13. لكنها محجوبة عنه بها

    والعلم يكشف الذي تقررا

    Yet it is veiled from him by his own illusion

    While knowledge unveils what is ascertained

  14. والجاهل المغرور هذا عنده

    مستبعد ضل به فأنكرا

    The deluded fool holds fast to his denial

    Thereby going astray and refusing truth

  15. ونحن نعلم التقادير التي

    قدرها الباري الذي لها برى

    While we know the decrees determined

    By the Originator to whom all owes its being

  16. ونحن من جملتها أجمعنا

    وهو الوجود الحق ما فيه امتِرا

    We are among those decrees, all of us

    While He alone is true Existence, in whom there is no doubt

  17. وإنه غيب ولا نعرفه

    وعجزنا عنه لنا تحررا

    He is unseen and unknown to us

    And beyond our comprehension, as we have stated

  18. فاتبع طريقنا وقل بقولنا

    إن رمت شيخنا الكبير الأكبرا

    So follow our path and speak as we have spoken

    If you wish acceptance by the Greatest Elder
