لا يُعجِزُ اللَهَ كونٌ دون عِلَّتهِ

هو البديعُ البرايا عِلَّةُ العِلَلِ

No power can make God helpless

For He is the Maker of all things and their Maker too

قد ضَمَّ في طَرَفَيهِ عِلَّةً سَبَقَت

ولو أَرادَ لأَفناها بلا عِلَلِ

On either side of Him is a cause that came before

And if He willed, He could destroy it, causeless, out of the blue
