فَعَلَ الْخَاطِرُ الْمُصَدِّقُ فِعْلاً

ظَهَرَتْ فِيهِ لِلْعِيَانِ الْكَرَامَهْ

The truthful intuition acted

In it the miracle appeared clearly

إِذْ دَعَانِي لِكَتْبِ شَيْءٍ تَعَاطَى

غَيْرُهُ مِنِّيَ الْبَنَانُ وَرَامَهْ

When it called me to write something

Others shunned from me, prudence and carefulness

فَكَبَا لِلْيَرَاعِ طِرْفٌ عَتِيقٌ

قد أَجَدْتُ اخْتِيَارَهُ وَاعْتِيَامَهْ

So the eyelids inclined to watchfulness

I found its choice and reliance

وَتَعَشَّى النَّهَارُ مِنْ صَفْحَةِ الطِّرْ

سِ مِدَاداً أَضْفَى عَلَيْهِ ظَلاَمَهْ

And the day smiled from the page of the book

An ink that cast upon it darkness

إِنَّ لِلصِّدقِ فِي الْوُجُودِ شُيُوخاً

قَدْ تَبَدَّتْ لَهَا أَصَحُّ عَلاَمَهْ

Indeed, truthfulness in existence has elders

Its most valid signs appeared

فَارْغَبِ اللهَ فِي الْوِقَايَةِ وَاسْأَلْ

مِنْهُ سُبْحَانَهُ الْهُدَى وَالسَّلاَمَهْ

So desire God for protection and ask

From Him, glorified is He, guidance and safety
