يشف ثوب عنه لي مخيطُ

والله من ورائهم محيطُ

The robe uncovers His essence for me a tailor

And Allah surrounds them from behind

ثوب الورى يشف عن وجوده

مركَّب ذلك أو بسيط

The robe of existence uncovers His existence

Whether that is combined or simple

فيحسب الثوب بأنه له

وإنما الله به يحيط

So he assumes the robe is for him

While Allah surrounds him with it

يا من يروم حجَّ بيتِ ربِّه

بالقلب وهو عاجز حطيط

O you who intends to perform Hajj to the House of his Lord

With his heart while he is humble and lowly

في عرفاته الوقوف شرطه

تلبية ويُنزَعُ المخيط

In his Arafat, stopping is a condition

Talbiyah, and the robe is removed

فإنه الإحرام والإحرام إن

فات فلا حج هو التخبيط

For it is ihram, and ihram if

Missed, there is no Hajj, that would be deception

الله أكبر الذي ليس له

أب فذاك ابن زنى لقيط

God is Greatest, Who has no

Father, so that is a bastard foundling

يمشي بنفسه على مراده

والعقبات كم بها سقيط

He walks by himself according to his desire

And how many obstacles has he jumped over

وليس يدريها ويشرب الذي

يراه ماء أو دم عبيط

And he does not know them and drinks what

He sees as water or thick blood

إن رسوم الكائنات دائماً

محوٌ وإثباتٌ هي التخطيط

The forms of creatures are always

Deletion and affirmation, that is the planning

مقدرات كلها من عدم

قُدِّرَ هاربٌ بها محيط

Fates all from nonexistence

Were ordained, fleeting surround it

وما لها إلا وجود ربها

فإنها به لها تقسيط

It has no existence except the existence of its Lord

For through Him it has its apportionment

ولا تقل حلَّ ولا تقل هما

متحدان فهمُكَ العمريط

Do not say solved or do not say both

United, for your understanding is feeble

فإن هذا كله كلام من

نام له في نومه غطيط

For all this is words from one

Who slept and snored in his sleep

كيف وجود ربنا في عدم

يقال حلَّ أو هما خليط

How can the existence of our Lord be in nonexistence

Can it be said solved or they are mixed?

فافهم كلامي واعتقده أو فلا

يغلبْ عليك عقلُك السقيط

So understand my words and believe them or do not

Let your weak intellect defeat you

فتجحد الحق على أصحابه

بغير علم ولك الأطيط

And you disbelieve the truth about its people

Without knowledge and yours is the nonsense

والكفر لازم على جحود ما

تجحده والعملُ الحبيط

Disbelief necessarily accompanies disbelief of what

You disbelieve and the useless deed

وأنت مأسور الظلام والردى

ونفسك الموثوقة الربيط

While you are prisoner of darkness and deviation

And your confident soul is shackled

وفاتك الركب الذي يمموا

نور الهدى وفاتك الخليط

You missed the caravan which set out

The light of guidance and you missed the mixture

وأنت لابس غليظ فروة

والقوم لبسهم حلىً وريط

While you are wearing a thick fur

And the people's clothing is fine jewelry and ribbons

فاز المخفون الذين ما لهم

في غيرهم ظن ولا تفريط

The hidden ones succeeded, those who have

No thought or care for others except themselves

وما لهم شغل بغير نفسهم

عنها الأذى هموا بأن يميطو

From it harm, they intend to uncover

One of them is many in existence

واحدهم هو الكثير في الورى

وفي الكمالات هو النشيط

And in perfections he is active

He wakes in good and sleeps safely

يصبح في خير ويمسي سالماً

وما له لغيره تغليط

And he has no deception for others
