1. الفعل معدوم لا يظهر بلا فاعلْ

    يكون عند سعالٌ كان من ساعلْ

    An act is nonexistent; it does not appear without a doer.

    It comes into being when a cough has come from one who coughs.

  2. فالكل مجعول فاني خلقة الجاعلْ

    نور الوجود به قنديلنا شاعلْ

    So all is made and perishable, the Maker’s creation.

    The light of existence—through it our lamp burns.
