Original content

جل من لااله الا هو
لا تقل کیف هو و لا ما هو

کل فی نعت ذاته الالسن
حار فی نور و جهه الأعین

لمعات جمال او ظاهر
سبحات جلال او قاهر

فیض لطفش چو نورپاش شود
تف قهرش چو دور باش شود

هر چه مفهوم عقل و ادراک است
ساحت قدس او ازان پاک است

قدس ذاتش چو برتر از کیف است
کیف هو گفتن اندر او حیف است

چون نه نوع آمد و نه جنس او را
پس چه معنی سئوال ما هو را

ما و هو چیست لا و هو می گوی
راه ازین لا و هو بدو می جوی

لا و هو هر دو نفی و اثباتند
نافی غیر و مثبت ذاتند

چند از این غافلی و گمراهی
لا و هو ورد خود کن ای لاهی

تا دهد لا و هوت قوت و قوت
ببرد تا سرادق لاهوت

به هوا و هوس در او نرسی
تا ز لا نگذری به هو نرسی

هو کفایت ز غیب ذات شناس
مکنش بر دگر ذوات قیاس

هیچ ذاتی به ذات او نرسد
عقل کل در صفات او نرسد

این چه مجد و بهاست سبحانه
وین چه عز ما اعز سلطانه

ای همه قدسیان قدوسی
گرد کوی تو در زمین بوسی

دو جهان جلوه گاه وحدت تو
شهد الله گواه وحدت تو

هم مقر گفته با تو هم جاحد
لمن الملک لله الواحد

پرتو روی توست از همه سو
همه را رو به توست از همه رو

همه در راه و راه می جویند
از غمت آه آه می گویند

مبتدی در ره تو مویه کنان
نعره اهدناالصراط زنان

منتهی در سجود بین یدیک
گفته کیف الطریق رب الیک

بنما ره که طالب راهیم
ره به سوی تو از تو می خواهیم

قطع این ره به راه پیمایی
کی توان کرد دگر تو ننمایی

English translation

Glorious is He, there is no god but He. Do not say how He is, nor what He is. Tongues become weary in describing His essence. Eyes are bewildered in the light of His face. The flashes of His beauty are manifest. The glories of His majesty are overpowering. When the bounty of His grace scatters light, The heat of His wrath acts as a repeller. Whatever is comprehended by intellect and perception, His holy precinct is pure of it. Since the holiness of His essence is beyond "how," Saying "how is He" regarding Him is unjust. Since neither species nor genus applies to Him, Then what is the meaning of the question "what is He"? What are "what" and "how"? Say "no" (la) and "He" (hu). Seek the way to Him through this "no" and "He" (negation and affirmation). "La" and "hu" are both negation and affirmation; Negating the other and affirming the Essence. How much of this heedlessness and waywardness? Make "la" and "hu" your litany, O heedless one! So that "la" and "hu" may give you strength and sustenance, And take you to the pavilion of the divine realm (Lahut). By desire and whim, you will not reach Him; Until you pass beyond "la" (negation), you will not reach "hu" (Him). Recognize "hu" as sufficient for the unseen Essence, Do not compare Him to other essences. No essence reaches His essence, Universal intellect does not reach His attributes. What glory and splendor is this! Glorified is He! And what might is this! How mighty is His dominion! O You, the Holy One for all the holy beings! They kiss the ground around Your lane. Both worlds are the manifestation place of Your unity, "God bears witness" is the witness to Your unity. Both the confessor and the denier have said to You: "To whom belongs the dominion? To God, the One." The radiance of Your face is from every direction; Everyone's face is toward You from every side. All are on the path, seeking the path; Out of longing for You, they say, "Ah, ah." The beginner on Your path, weeping, Cries out, "Guide us on the straight path!" The one at the end, prostrating before You, Says, "How is the way, O Lord, to You?" Show the way, for we are seekers of the way; We ask for the way to You from You. Traversing this path by mere wayfaring, How can it be done if You do not show it?
