رَأَيتُ رَبّي بِعَينِ قَلبي
فَقُلتُ لا شَكَّ أَنتَ أَنتا
I beheld my Lord with the eye of my heart,
And I said: "Without doubt, You are You."
أَنتَ الَّذي حُزتَ كُلَّ أَينٍ
بِحَيثُ لا أَينَ ثَمَّ أَنتا
You are the One who encompasses every "where,"
So that where there is no "where," You are there.
فَلَيسَ لِلأَينِ مِنكَ أَينٌ
فَيَعلَمُ الأَينُ أَينَ أَنتا
For "where" has no location regarding You,
That "where" might know where You are.
وَلَيسَ لِلوَهمِ فيكَ وَهمٌ
فَيَعلَمُ الوَهمُ كَيفَ أَنتا
And imagination has no grasp of You,
That imagination might know how You are.
أَحَطتَ عِلماً بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ
فَكُلُ شَيءٍ أَراهُ أَنتا
You encompass all things in Your knowledge,
So everything that I see is You.
وَفي فَنائي فَنا فَنائي
وَفي فَنائي وَجَدتَ أَنتا
And in my annihilation is the annihilation of my annihilation,
And in my annihilation, You are found.
