مشيئةُ العبدِ من مشيئةِ الله

مشيئةُ العبدِ من مشيئةِ الله

بل عينها عينها والحكم لله

بل عينها عينها والحكم لله

The servant’s will comes from the will of God.

The will of the servant is from the will of Allah

Rather, it is that very will, that very will; and judgment belongs to God.

Rather, it is His very will, and the judgment is Allah's

من حيثُ ما هو رب العالمين ولا

من حيثُ ما هو رب العالمين ولا

نعم واحكم به فيه من الله

نعم واحكم به فيه من الله

Insofar as He is Lord of the worlds—and “no,”

From where He is the Lord of the worlds, and not

“Yes”—and judge by Him concerning Him, from God.

Yes, and He judges in it from Allah

كما أتى في صريح الوحي في مَللي

كما أتى في صريح الوحي في مَللي

إذا تمل يملُّ الله والساهي

إذا تمل يملُّ الله والساهي

As it came in the explicit revelation concerning my weariness:

As it came in the clear revelation in my boredom

When you grow weary, God grows weary; and as for the heedless one,

If the servant becomes bored, Allah becomes bored, and the heedless one

لا يعرفُ الحقُّ إلا من عقيدته

لا يعرفُ الحقُّ إلا من عقيدته

ونحن نعرفُ حقَّ الله بالله

ونحن نعرفُ حقَّ الله بالله

The Real is known only through his own belief.

The truth is not known except from his doctrine

Whereas we know the truth of God through God.

And we know the right of Allah by Allah
