Withdrawal from
All That Is Other-Than-Allah |
|
Roohee tuhaddithunee bi'anna haqeeqatee
nooru 'l-ilaahi fa laa taraa 'illaahu |
My RUh
speaks to me and says: 'My reality is the light of Allah, so
do not see other-than-Him. |
|
law lam 'akun nooran lakuntu siwaahu
'inna 's-siwaa 'adamun fa laa tardaahu |
If I were not
a light I would be other-than-Him. Indeed otherness is
nothingness, so do not be content with it. |
|
wa
'idhaa nadharta bi 'ayni sirrika lam tajid
ghayra 'l-ilaahi fee 'ardihi wa samaahu |
If you look
with the eye of your secret you will not find other-
than-Allah in this earth or heaven. |
|
laakin tawahhumu ghayrihi yakhfaa bihi
fa
'nbudh hawaaka 'idhaa arad-ta taraah |
But the
illusion of other-than-Him hides Him. So shed your desires if
you wish to see Him. |
|
wa 'rkab safeenata sunnatin tanjoo bihaa
wa 'sluk sabeela ra'eesihaa fee hawaahu |
Board the
ship of the sunna and you will be rescued in it, and
travel the path of its captain in his love. |
|
wa sili sharaaba bi ka'sihaa wa 'fnaa bihi
tahuzi 'l-baqaa'a bi sirrihi wa 'ulaahu |
Unite the
wine with the goblet and be annihilated by it, and you will
obtain going-on by His secret and sublimity. |
|
|
See His
tawhid with the eye of inner sight, but separation is His
shari'at so do not forget it! |
|
waj'al humoomaka waahidan tukfaa bihi. .
kulla 'l-humoomi wa tadkhulan fee himaahu |
Make your
concerns one, and by Him all your needs will be met, and you
will enter into His protection. |
|
wa 'nzil 'umooraka billadhee 'adraa bihaa
fahuwa 'l--khabeeru bi qalbina wa munaahu |
Hand over
your affairs to the One who knows best, for He is the Knower
of every heart and every desire. |
|
Yaa rabbi salli 'ala 'n-nabeeyyi Muhammadin
sirri 'l-wujoodi wa 'aslihi wa sanaahu |
Oh
Lord, bless Muhammad, the secret of existence and its source
and splendour. |
