подстрочник стихов Зун-Нуна Аль-Мисри assalam786 December 1 2022, 16:31:34 UTC
Thou art Most High, O Lord. No one in the world can know Thee.
Thou yet knowest all beings, art able to grasp and see all things.
None of our questions can reach Thee - why? whence? or whither? -
Neither art Thou encompassed by any measure or limit.
How could there be limits to Him, when no eye can see Him,
And He is like unto nothing that thought is able to reach?
He, at the source of existence, made all things appear. He created
All that exists, out of nothing. But He will always remain 
Constant forever, in ages to come, the times that are changing
When He so wills it. No decrease or increase is within Him;
Constant remaining, though earth and heaven were not, neither glimpse
Of the world of being. All praise be to Him, who governs forever!
He grew not in power when life He bestowed on creation;
He did not need its help to vanquish an enemy power.
All in Himself He possesses, and nothing is lacking in Him,
While His creation is bound by the forces of change and endeavor.

****

All that exists must confess its anguish and need of assistance;
He will give help to those who seek their support in Him.
He knows each object, whatever its changing condition,
Every thing that is born, and all that dies being transient.
Every secret He knows, which the heart would keep to itself,
Naught that moves in the depth of the soul is hidden from Him.
He inclines His ear to the words of the people; His eye sees
Each tiny insect wending its way across rock-solid ground.

****

All things He has made, He has decreed must die. To no one is granted
Either final escape or a refuge wherein shelter is found.
Death, though, shall die at the last: all things created shall perish,
And none eternal remain save God the Almighty Himself.

****

He is the first and the last, he is the Lord, One and Only,
For Him there exists nothing "near", neither is anything "distant".
He is exalted and mighty, all-knowing and without end.
Eternal being He was and eternal will He continue.

(Dhun-Nun Misri)
