The Commander of Creation

O You Whose essence is free from

          everything that exists:

You are beyond measure and description;

          You transcend everything that is.


Whoever described You

          has erred.

You are outside the bounds of description

          and more sublime than everything that is.


The temporal can’t define

          the eternal.

You are beyond us

          and rise above everything that is.


I am non-being, while You are the True Being;

          I will say no more.

You are hidden from sight,

          yet apparent in everything that is.


You settled in my eyes,

          then with Your eyes I saw

You are manifest

          in everything that is.


You are the ruler of the realm of possibilities

          and the commander of creation.

You are all-knowing; Yours is the power

          over everything that is.


You are not a drop

          to seek the company of the Ocean.

O Nurbakhsh,

          He is free from everything that is.
