قرأنا معاني السر فالحكم ظلهر
به رونقٌ من باطن الحال باهر
We read the meanings of the secret, so the wisdom became apparent
With it a splendor from the essence of the state dazzling
أفاد بأن البارزات لسمتها
بطلَّسم أحاكام الغيوب مظاهر
It benefited that the prominent ones, their trait
Is clad with the rulings of the hidden, manifestations
فهذا بماضي قسمة الغيب مؤمنٌ
وهذا كما قد تشهد العين كافر
So this one believes in the partition of the unseen
And this one is an unbeliever, as the eye can attest
جلا مظهر الإبراز كلَّ خفيةٍ
وحينا عن الأسرار تعمى البصائر
The manifestation of prominence has revealed every hidden thing
And the insights are sometimes blind to the secrets
أما ومعانيها وغامض سرها
وما هو مبدٍ للشؤن وساتر
As for its meanings and its ambiguous secret
And what initiates affairs and veils them
ضربنا عن الآثار صفحاً ولبُّنا
إلى الواحد الفرد المؤثر طائرُ
We turned away from traces and yearned
Towards the One, the Singular, the Effecter flying
وغبنا به عن كل بادٍ وطامسٍ
وفيه لنا سرٌّ مع الصدق حاضر
And missed with Him every fading and concealing
And in Him we have a secret along with truth present
نرى واردات الكون منه وعنه لا
سواه وعجز الكل في الكل ظاهر
We see the universe's occurrences from and through Him alone
Other than Him, all are inept in all, evident
فمختاره الهادي لحضرةِ قدسه
هدانا ومحقا قد غدون الخواطر
So His Chosen one to the sanctity of His presence
Guided us and the thoughts have indeed become corrected
عرفنا به الحقًّ المبين وإنه
مواردنا عن علمه والمصادر
We knew through him the clear truth, and that He
Is our resource of knowledge and the wellsprings
لقد مزَّقض الشكَّ الكثيف بعزمه
ومدَّت علينا من هداه الستائر
He has indeed shredded the dense doubt with his resolve
And the veils have been lifted from us by his guidance
فكل لسانٍ بالهدى المحض ناطقٌ
وكلُّ فؤآد بالعناية عامر
So every tongue speaks with the pure guidance
And every heart is inhabited by the providence
تلألأ نور الحق في كل مؤمن
وقامت على العلم اليقين البشائر
The light of truth has glittered in every believer
And the glad tidings have been established upon knowledge
له حملت سراً قديماً قلوبنا
فحاشاه يبلى يوم السرائر
For Him our hearts have secretly borne an ancient secret
So it is shameful that it fade on the day all secrets are exposed
