Sol 6.1

  1. إن المحامد أنواع منوّعة

    تبينها لك حمد الحامدين بها

    Indeed, praises are of many different kinds.

    The praise of those who praise with them makes them clear to you.

  2. وما لها صور في غير حالهمُ

    فكن بذا عالماً إن كنتَ منتبها

    And they have no forms outside the state of those who praise.

    So be aware of this, if you are attentive.

  3. عم الحلالُ إذا أكلت عن ضررٍ

    فإن جهلتَ فكُل ما كان مُشتبها

    The lawful encompasses all when you eat to avert harm.

    So if you do not know, eat whatever is doubtful.

  4. وما يعم حرامٌ وهو حجتنا

    إنَّ المالَ إلى الرحمن انتبها

    And nothing forbidden is all-encompassing; this is our proof.

    Indeed, wealth goes to the All-Merciful—take heed.

  5. إنَّ النجومَ لتجري في مطالعها

    بما يشاء من أمر نحو مغربها

    Indeed, the stars course in their rising-places,

    By whatever command He wills, toward their setting-place.

  6. وذلك الأمر أخفاه وأودعه

    ربُّ السمواتِ في تسيير كوكبها

    And that command was concealed and lodged

    By the Lord of the heavens in setting their star in motion.

  7. فقائل إنَّ هذا الحكمَ ليس لها

    وقائل حكم هذا من كوكبها

    So one says, 'This governing influence is not theirs,'

    And another says, 'This is governed by their star.'

  8. يسري فيحدثُ في أعياننا عجباً

    وما لها مذهبٌ في أصل مذهبها

    It flows, producing marvels in our individual beings.

    Yet at its source, their course is not their own.

  9. وما لها خبر مما يقوم بنا

    بل ذلك الأمر فينا من مرتبها

    And they have no knowledge of what subsists in us.

    Rather, that affair within us comes from the One who orders them.

  10. تقلبَ الليلُ عنها والنهار معا

    وما التقلبُ إلا من مقلبها

    Night and day alike change through them,

    Yet change comes only from the One who changes them.

  11. سبحانه وتعالى أنْ يحاط بما

    يحويه علماً لدينا في تقلبها

    Glory be to Him, exalted beyond our comprehending what

    He encompasses in their turning, through the knowledge we possess.
