إلا إليّ وإني العينُ والخبرُ

I have no support, no pillar, no refuge

I have no support nor pillar nor burden

except in myself; indeed, I am the essence and the report.

Except to me, for I am the eye and the news

لي التحكم في عيني يحققه

لي التحكم في عيني يحققه

علمي وكشفي فمني النفع والضرر

علمي وكشفي فمني النفع والضرر

Mine is mastery over my essence, confirmed

I control my eyes to achieve

by my knowledge and my unveiling; from me come benefit and harm.

My knowledge and revelation, so from me comes benefit and harm

لولاي ما كان للأسماء من أثر

لولاي ما كان للأسماء من أثر

أنا المسمى فلي الأسماء والأثر

أنا المسمى فلي الأسماء والأثر

انظر إليه بنا تجدْه عينُ أنا

فالناظرُ الحقُّ والمنظورُ والنظرُ

فالناظرُ الحقُّ والمنظورُ والنظرُ

Look at Him through us; you will find Him the very 'I'.

Look at Him through us, you will find Him the eye, I am

For only the Real and the forms make distinctions.

None distinguishes except the truth and the forms

Do you not see that when His two hands moved

upon the leaven of the one you call human?

Towards a lump of what you call man

قد فرَّق الله أعياناً فقال لنا

قد فرَّق الله أعياناً فقال لنا

هذا المقامُ وهذا الركنُ والحجر

هذا المقامُ وهذا الركنُ والحجر

God has indeed distinguished entities, and said to us:

God distinguished essences, so He said to us

This is the Station, and this is the Corner and the Stone.

This is the station, and this the pillar, and the stone
