غمضclose your eyes لتدركَso that you may perceive منthe One whom لاnot شيءa thing يدركُهperceives Him
غمض لتدركَ من لا شيء يدركُه
O possessor of sight, whose gaze is veiled,
O friend whose sight is veiled, look within
Close your eyes to perceive the One whom nothing perceives.
Close your eyes to grasp what nothing grasps
واعلمand know بأنكthat you إنif أرسلتهyou let it loose عبثاًin vain
واعلم بأنك إن أرسلته عبثاً
فإنهthen indeed He خلفbehind سِترthe veil of الكونِthe cosmos تتركهyou leave Him
فإنه خلف سِتر الكونِ تتركه
And know that if you let it roam in vain,
Know that if you cast it out in vain
Then you leave Him behind the veil of the cosmos.
Behind the veil of existence you'll abandon it
