    فتسلك مسلك قوم أخر

    lest you follow the path of other folk.

    وكم أثر عنده قد ظهر

    For how many a sign has appeared for the Prophet,

    and how many a token has appeared in his presence!

  7. ومن شكَّ في نور برهانه

    علي أنَّ برهانه قد بهر

    And if anyone doubts the light of his proof,

    though his proof has dazzled,

    وقل فوق طورك هذا الخبر

    and say, 'This report is beyond your grasp.'
