投影

造物的世界如同一湾清水

充满了神的镜像

尘世的智识、正义与美德

它们皆由神来

就像星辰在水河中的投影

君王之威乃效仿真主之名

博学者的智慧是神的映照

世事变幻终归无

只有长存不灭的神性

没有永垂不朽的造物

奔涌的长河不会流淌相同的水

投在水中的星光月影却始终如是

REFLECTIONS

Know that the world of created beings

is like pure and clear water, reflecting

the attributes of GOD.

Their knowledge, justice and kindness

reflects GOD’s like a heavenly star is

reflected in running water.

Earthly kings reflect GOD’s kingship.
Scholars mirror the wisdom of GOD.

People and nations may change as
one generation replaces another;
but the divine attributes are eternal.

The water flowing in the stream
changes many times, but the
reflection of the moon and stars
in the water remains the same.
