إلا وجود العبد؛ فما قال الحق في قوله: «مجدني عبدي»، إلا حقا:

فلو زلنا لزال المجد عنه

فتمجيدي له المجد التليد

تولد عن وجود القول مني

كذا قال الإله لي المجيد

و قلناه بعلم واعتقاد

فجاء لشكرنا منه المزيد

فكان هو المراد بعين قولي

كما قد كان في الأصل المريد

له حكم التحكم في وجودي

هو الفعال فينا ما يريد

و ليس يريد إلا كل ما لا

وجود له فحقق ما أريد

فليس يريد عيني حال كوني

فكون الكائنات هو الوجود

فقد شهدت إرادته عليه

بأن مراده أبدا فقيد

except the servant’s existence. The Real said nothing but truth in saying, “My servant has glorified Me”:

Were we to cease, glory would cease from Him.

My glorification of Him is thus the ancient glory,

born from the existence of speech from me.

Thus the Glorious God said to me.

We said it with knowledge and belief,

and more came from Him for our gratitude.

He was the one intended by my very speech,

just as originally He was the one who willed.

His is the ruling of control over my existence;

He does within us whatever He wills.

He wills only whatever

has no existence: realize what I intend.

He does not will my entity while I am:

the coming to be of beings is existence.

His will has borne witness against Him

that what He wills is ever absent.
