At times I looked for You here,
At times I looked for You here, sometimes I ended up over there.
For the sake of Your glimpse,
- Where did I not go
The poor were wiped out, ruined,
- But to this day no sign of Yours was seen.
You are absent, but present in all places,
You are incomprehensible!
Your magnificence manifests every atom,
Your magnificence manifests every atom,
- But my conscience is bewildered of what You are.
You are incomprehensible!
I have sought You in the places of worship, You are not to be seen,
- But I have seen Your honour in my heart.
You are incomprehensible!
When except You, no second is present,
No second is present,
When except You, no second is present,
No second is present,
When except You, no second is present,
- Then I do not understand Your cover.
You are incomprehensible!
Whomever has lost himself in Your radiance
- The one missing has found something,
Not idol house nor the Kaaba,
- But Your found in a broken heart,
Behind man You have hidden sometimes,
sometimes You have shown Yourself in openness.
If You are not there, what kind of denial would there be?
Even negation is a proof for Your existence.
The One I call my way of life,
- If it is not You, then what is it?
If You haven't appeared in my thought,
- Then how can I believe You are God?
You are incomprehensible!
I am mystified.
I am mystified,
- Mystified at the prospect of who or what You are,
If You are tangible, then an idol, intangible then God.
Whatever entered comprehension, why did it become infinite?
Then of which was grasped, why did that become God?
The Philosopher doesn't find God in contemplation,
He keep pulling the string, but does not find the head.
Neither do You hide, nor do You reveal.
You show Your awe by not showing at all.
You do not resolve the conflicts in the houses of worship,
- The actual matter, You do inform us of.
How You accommodate in my heart, I am surprised
- When the Two worlds are inadequate for You.
Why these great places of worship? (Dair, Haram)
You are ubiquitous that's why You do not tell us!
Alas, You are incomprehensible!
The heart is overwhelmed by perplexity,
- Of which has created a distorted picture
I am deeply puzzled by this matter,
What is this game You have played since the beginning
The soul has been made a prisoner of the body and the warden is in the shape of death.
You give the means of flight to a bird,
- Yet laid everywhere is the net of fate.
Since time, You have beautifully decorated the world,
- But You also have a plan for its destruction.
Although You are free of status,
- You have preached much of it, of kith and kin.
This evil,
That good,
This hell,
That paradise,
- What is kept in this bewilderment?
Mishap was of the father yet the sin passed on to the offspring,
- What is the standard of justice You have kept?
By giving man his own governance in this world,
- A mockery has been made of the era.
For the sake of Your recognition You created everyone,
From everyone's sight, You have veiled but Yourself.
You are incomprehensible!
