أُنَزِّهُ العَينَ عَن عِلمٍ يُصَوِّرُهُ

حَدٌّ وَإِن لَحَظَتهُ العَينُ كَالصُوَرِ

I clear my eyes of knowledge portrayed as destiny

Though the eye's glance sees it as images

وَأَسلُبُ العَجزَ وَالتَخطيطِ حَيثُ بَدا

مِنهُ لِإِظهارِ ما أَبدا مِنَ القَدَرِ

And I take from incapacity and contrivance wherever they appear

To reveal what always was from fate
