ما تعددت جزافا؛ فلا بد من نسب تعقل لتعددها. فالمفهوم من العالم ما هو عين المفهوم من الحي، والحي هو العالم.

فالحي عين العالم والمفهوم من الحي ما هو المفهوم من العالم، ولا القادر، ولا العزيز، ولا العالي، ولا المتعالي، ولا الكبير، ولا المتكبر. ولم نقل هٰذا عنه، ولا سميته بهٰذا، بل هو سمّى لي نفسه بهٰذا.

فهل هو اسم له أو لما هو المفهوم منه؟ وهل المفهوم منه أمر وجودي أو نسبة؟

ثم مشاركتنا إياه في هذه الأسماء الواردة الإلهية كلها من أعجب ما في الأمر، ثم رفع المماثلة بيني وبينه. فتعلم قطعا إن هذه الأسماء من حيث المفهوم لا ترفع المماثلة.

فقد حرنا وقد حارا

فمن حار فما جارا

فقد أبعدني عينا

و قد قربني جارا

و قد عين لي دارا

و قد عينني دارا

له يسكنها خلدا

فَدُرْنا حيث ما دارا

فمن أصغى ومن قال

و من كسرى ومن دارا

مليك ما له ملك

محال حار من حارا

و نادى من أتى يبغي

فكانت داره النارا

فما عينني دارا إلا له، فبه أسمع، وبه أبصر، وقد وسعه قلبي.

have not become many haphazardly. There must be intelligible relations accounting for their multiplicity. The concept of the Knowing is not identical with the concept of the Living, while the Living is the Knowing.

The Living is the very entity of the Knowing, yet the concept of the Living is not the concept of the Knowing, nor of the Powerful, the Mighty, the High, the Most High, the Great, or the Supremely Great. We did not say this about Him, nor did I name Him thus. Rather, He named Himself thus for me.

Is it a name for Him or for what is understood from it? Is what is understood from it an existent matter or a relation?

Our sharing with Him in all these transmitted divine Names is then among the most wondrous things in the matter, followed by the denial of likeness between me and Him. You know with certainty that, in respect of the concept, these Names do not remove likeness.

We have been bewildered, and He has been bewildered;

whoever is bewildered has not been unjust.

He has made me distant in entity

and brought me near as a neighbor.

He has appointed a house for me,

and appointed me a house

for Him, in which He dwells forever.

We circled wherever He circled.

Who listened, and who spoke?

Who is Kisra, and who is Dara?

A king with no kingdom

is impossible. Bewildered is whoever is bewildered.

The one who came seeking called,

and his Abode was the Fire.

He appointed me a house only for Himself. Through Him I hear, through Him I see, and my heart has encompassed Him.

Notes

Translator’s note: The poem’s final couplet can also be read, “He called the one who came seeking.” The compressed wording leaves the caller’s identity uncertain.
