حق اليقينِ علومٌ لا يحصلها

حق اليقينِ علومٌ لا يحصلها

إلا بلم وهو المخصوصُ بالعللِ

إلا بلم وهو المخصوصُ بالعللِ

The reality of certainty consists of sciences one cannot attain

The certain knowledge is comprised of sciences

Except through “why?”, which is concerned specifically with causes.

That can only be attained through determination and diligence

وهي العلوم التي أرستْ قواعدها

وهي العلوم التي أرستْ قواعدها

بالمشتريّ وبالمعهود من زُحَل

بالمشتريّ وبالمعهود من زُحَل

And these are the sciences that established their foundations

They are the sciences whose foundations were laid down

Through Jupiter and through what is known of Saturn.

By the Purchaser and the Accustomed One from Zuhal

وعينه دونه ذوقاً تشاهده

وعينه دونه ذوقاً تشاهده

ولو بغيت فيبقى فيه بالمثل

ولو بغيت فيبقى فيه بالمثل

And its eye lies below it: through tasting you witness it.

Its essence you witness below it in taste

And even if you seek, it remains within it as a likeness.

And if you desire, it remains alike

وعلمه دون هذا العينُ تعلمه

وعلمه دون هذا العينُ تعلمه

بحدِّه وهو إن أزيل لم يزل

بحدِّه وهو إن أزيل لم يزل

And its knowledge lies below this; the eye knows it

And the knowledge below this essence you learn it

By its definition—and if it is removed, it does not cease.

By its definition, and if removed, would not disappear
