دَواؤُكَ فيكَ وَما تُبصِرُ

وَدَاؤُكَ مِنكَ وَما تَشعُرُ

Your remedy is within you, yet you do not see,

And your ailment is from you, yet you do not perceive.

أَتَزعُمُ أَنَّكَ جُرمٌ صَغير

وَفيكَ اِنطَوى العالَمُ الأَكبَرُ

Do you presume you are but a small entity,

While within you the greater universe is enfolded?

فَأَنتَ الكِتابُ المُبينُ الَّذي

بِأَحرُفِهِ يَظهَرُ المُضَمَرُ

You are the Evident Book, through whose

Letters the hidden mystery becomes manifest.

وَما حاجَةٌ لَكَ مِن خارِجٍ

وَفِكرُكَ فيكَ وَما تُصدِرُ

You have no need for anything outside yourself,

For your thought, and what you bring forth, reside within you.
