An Imamate of Legacy, forever manifest

Seen by all creation without any ransom.

By His power, He shows them the Essence in a form

Exalted is the Fashioner above the form of a physical body.

Rather, it is the power of creation that brings

into being It is not something created for the creation to observe.

So that they may affirm Him and not deny His vision

A vision of the eye, with certainty—Exalted is the Eternal.

[He is beyond] confinement or anything that might encompass Him

Whether as a whole, a sum, or containing Him through division.

And Allah reveals manifestations according to His Will

In every race, among all peoples and numbers.

Among the Persians, the Arabs, the pure Romans

And in Sindh, India, and Nubia—without exception.

Among the nations and among all the tribes

From those of Qahtan and all the progeny of Adad.
