إن لله حدودا تعرف

والذي يعرفها لا يصرف

ناظرا في حكمها متئدا

عندها في كل حال يقف

فانظروا فيها عليها وقفوا

وبحق الحق لا تنحرفوا

تجدوا السر لديها علنا

ولذا أهل التعدي عرفوا

ولهٰذا انتهكوا حرمتها

وادعوا أنهم قد كشفوا

ظلموا أنفسهم فانحجبوا

عن مراد الله حين اعترفوا

والترجي واقع حيث أتى

من كلام الله عنه فقفوا

عند ما قلت به واتصفوا

بالترجي مثل ما يتصف

أنه عند الذي ظن به

فلتظنوا الخير منه ولتفوا

God has limits that are known.

The one who knows them does not turn away,

Considering their ruling deliberately,

Stopping at them in every state.

Consider them and stop at them,

And by the Real's right, do not deviate.

You will find the mystery manifest beside them.

For this reason the people of transgression knew,

And for this reason violated their sanctity

And claimed that they had unveiled.

They wronged themselves and were veiled

From God's intent when they acknowledged.

Hope takes effect wherever it comes

Within God's speech from Him; so stop

At what I have said, and be characterized

By hope, just as He is characterized.

He is according to what is thought of Him:

So think good of Him, and be faithful.
