لله الحمد قبل کل کلامبصفات الجلال والاکرام
Praise be to Allah before any speech
By the attributes of Majesty and Honor
حمد او تاج تارک سخن استصدر هر نامه نو و کهن است
His praise is the crown on the head of speech
It is the heading of every letter, new and old
خامه چون تاج نامه آرایددرة التاج نام او شاید
When the pen adorns the crown of the letter
His name befits the pearl of the crown
الله الله چه طرفه نامست اینورد دل حرز جان تمامست این
Allah, Allah, what a wondrous name this is
It is the invocation of the heart, the perfect amulet of the soul
پنج حرف است بس شگرف این اسمپیش گنج نهان ذات طلسم
This name consists of five very remarkable letters
A talisman before the hidden treasure of the Essence
از یدالله چو پنجه اند این پنجزان گرانمایه گنج گوهر سنج
These five are like a hand from the Hand of Allah
Weighing the jewels of that precious treasure
دیو را گو بمالش تو شتافتجز بدین پنج پنجه نتوان تافت
Tell the demon who hastens to harm you
One cannot twist him except with these five fingers
از پس این حروف فرخ فالجلوه گر صد هزار نعت کمال
Behind these auspicious letters
A hundred thousand attributes of perfection are manifested
خامه آن را چو مردم دیدهجامه مشک رنگ پوشیده
The pen, like the pupil of the eye
Has worn a musk-colored garment
زیر مشکین شعار یک یک حرفخفته حوران قاصرات الطرف
Beneath the musky veil of each single letter
Sleep the houris with restrained glances
دو الف زو به راستی دو گواهکرده روشن به سر وحدت راه
Its two Alifs are in truth two witnesses
Illuminating the path to the secret of Oneness
یکی از فتحه فتح باب فتوحکرده در منظر مروح روح
One, through its Fatha, has opened the door of conquests
In the refreshing sight of the spirit
وان دگر داده از سکون تسکیندل و جان را به مکمن تمکین
And the other, through its stillness, has given tranquility
To the heart and soul in the sanctuary of steadfastness
از دو لامش گرفته قوت و قوتاز یکی ملک از آن دگر ملکوت
From its two Lams, they have taken strength and sustenance
From one the dominion (Mulk), from the other the angelic realm (Malakut)
لام ساکن به ملک اشارت دانوان دگر زان دگر عبارت دان
Consider the silent Lam an allusion to the dominion
And consider the other an expression of the other
ملک فی نفسه بود ساکننیست جنبش در او ازو ممکن
The dominion in itself was static
Movement within it, by itself, is impossible
جنبشی کافکند بر او سایهملکوتش دهد در آن مایه
A movement that casts a shadow upon it
Its Malakut provides the substance for it
شکل تشدیدشان که شانه وش استعظم الله شأنه چه خوش است
The shape of their Tashdid, which is comb-like
May Allah exalt His status, how pleasant it is
چون یکی زان دو لام شد مدغمدر دگر چون دو گیسوی در هم
When one of those two Lams was assimilated
Into the other, like two intertwined locks of hair
بر سر آن شانه سه دندانهمی زند هر دو را به هم شانه
Upon the head of that three-toothed comb
It combs both of them together
ها که دال است بر هویت ذاتمتعاقب بود بر او حرکات
The Ha, which indicates the identity of the Essence
Successive movements occur upon it
حرکت چون سکون بر او جاریو او به ذات خود از همه عاری
Movement, like stillness, flows upon it
And it, in its own essence, is devoid of all
هیچ وقت از همه مجرد نیستلیک با هیچ یک مقید نیست
It is never stripped of all
Yet it is not bound by any one
رود این حرف در همه آناتبر نفس های جمله حیوانات
This letter flows in all moments
Upon the breaths of all living creatures
همه او را بدین نفس ذاکرگر ازو غایبند و گر حاضر
All are remembering Him with this breath
Whether they are absent from Him or present
اسم ذات اولا همینها بودلام تعریف و اختصاص فزود
The name of the Essence was initially this very 'Ha'
The Lam of definition and specification was added
چون شد اشباع کرده فتحه لامبا الف شد حروف اسم تمام
When the Fatha of the Lam was saturated
With an Alif, the letters of the name became complete
چیست تخصیص را سبب یعنیدو جهان خاص اوست و او مولی
What is the reason for the specification? Meaning
The two worlds belong exclusively to Him, and He is the Master
سر تعریف آنکه بشتابیتا کمال شناخت دریابی
The secret of the definition is that you hasten
So that you may attain the perfection of recognition
شرح اشباع فتحه آنکه مدامشد در این اسم درج فتح تمام
The explanation of the saturation of the Fatha is that constantly
The absolute conquest was inserted into this name
کم کسی از زبان به کام رسدور رسد زین خجسته نام رسد
Rarely does anyone reach their desire through the tongue
And if they do, it is through this auspicious name
هر که زین اسم بهره مند بودبهره او همین بسند بود
Whoever is blessed by this name
This alone is a sufficient portion for them
شرح این نی ز دیو مردم پرساز قل الله ثم ذرهم پرس
Do not ask the explanation of this from demonic people
Ask from 'Say Allah, then leave them'
بس بود پیش صاحب معنیحسبی الله گواه این دعوی
It is enough for the possessor of meaning
'Allah is sufficient for me' is the witness to this claim
