1. وجودكم تتمنوا أنه دائمْ

    لكم تحبونَهُ كلٌّ به هائمْ

    You wish that your existence would endure

    for you; you love it, each one enamored of it.

  2. وكل واحدْ مقدَّرْ في العدمْ حائمْ

    لم يدر أن وجودُهْ ربُّهُ القائمْ

    And each one is posited, hovering in nonexistence;

    He did not know that his existence is his Lord, the Subsisting One.
