All that we know is nothing but God; the whole of our knowledge
comes to just this: we know that He is being itself.
He is being itself, look and see; do not ask how.
There is nothing but Him, do not say, do not ask why.
Explanation: The poem expresses a mystical monism: God is identical with existence, so questioning anything beyond Him is pointless.

همه دان غیر خدا نیست، همه دانش ما
غیر ازین نیست که : هستی همه دانیم او را
عین هستیست، ببینید،مگویید که : چون؟
غیر او نیست، مگویید، مگویید : چرا؟
