إذا قلت يا ألله قال لمن تدعو

أنا ربّك الداعي وأنت لي المدعو

If I say: O God, He says: For whom do you pray?

I am your Lord, the caller, and you are called by Me

أجب دعوتي في حضرتي واترك الدعا

وإن أنا لا أدعوه قال ألا تدعو

Answer My call in My presence, and leave off supplication

And if I do not call upon Him, He says: Do you not pray to Me?

لقد فاز باللذّات من كان أخرساً

وفي فرق نطق الحقّ حقَّ له الجمع

Indeed, he who was mute attained pleasures

And in the difference between speaking truth and falsehood, he who speaks truth has the right to gather

كما شرب الكاسات أعمى حوى العمى

وخصّص بالراحات من لا له سمع

Just as a blind man drank cups, blindness brought oblivion

And he who is deaf was distinguished with comfort
