النَفسُ في العَقلِ إِذ تَصفو لِرُؤيَتِهِ

لَهُ مِثالٌ تَراهُ فَاِعقِلِ المَثَلا

The soul in reason when it is pure for its sight

It has an image it sees, so understand the parable

كَالعَينِ تَشهَدُ في المِرآةِ صورَتَها

وَما اِستَحلا وَلا حالا وَلا اِنتِقِلا

Like the eye that beholds in the mirror its form

Without having moved or changed or transported at all
