And majestic is His howness, and the incapacity of His power
And the description of his resemblance, we deny it out of glorification
And our saying that we recognize Him through another
Is polytheism adhered to by whoever was an absolute disbeliever
Rather we say He is the unique, eternal One forever
Exalted, sublime, majestic as an absolute Compeller
And that seen form, its outward aspect
Is the bald, the anza', the one called Haydarah
It is He as an existence and an affirmation I adhere
to Yet it is not He in terms of comprehension and limitation
To his saying:
From al-Khasibi who brought with his epistle
Its mention has traveled among the people of truth
Thus do the scholars follow 1 the Prince of the Believers, and they track his trace, not by what they write 2 in their discourse and invent within themselves.
