“In the market, in the cloister—only God I saw.

In the valley and on the mountain—only God I saw.

Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;

In favour and in fortune—only God I saw.

In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,

In the religion of the Prophet—only God I saw.

Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,

Qualities nor causes—only God I saw.

I oped mine eyes and by the light of His face around me

In all the eye discovered—only God I saw.
