To begin with, I begin in the name of Allah, the Omniscient, the Supreme and the Lord of the Universe; by His Divine powers He is the Omnipotent since infinity. He is Uncreated and Unchangeable. (He is the very first, before whom there was no first, and the very last) He is the provider of sustenance, He is the Fosterer and the Compassionate. Praise Him - the real Lord! Verily all praise is due to Him. He is the Sagacious. (His knowledge is all-Encompassing. It was His kindness that Allah, the Compassionate, perfected the universe by satisfying all its requirements in due measure.
Note: I have interpreted the word اوّل as ‘to begin with’, (being the first word of the Risalo) and as b) “Allah is the very first”.
Verily We have created everything proportionately. (49, Al-Qamar).
His is the sovereign of the skies and the earth; He gives life and He causes death; and He has power over all things . (2, Al-Hadid).
He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He knows all things fully well. (3, Al-Hadid).

Foremost, omniscient and supreme is world's Lord,
Of his own might in existence since infinity old, Mighty creator,
Merciful sustainer, one and only, His praises sing,
He planned and perfected the universe.

The One Creator, the all greats;
Lord of the universe
The living, the original;
Ruler with power innate;
The giver, the sustainer,
the unique , compassionate;
This master praise, to Him alone
Thy self in praise prostrate..
The generous, who does create
the universe in pairs.

Foremost, omniscient and supreme is world's Lord,
Of His own might in existence since aeons old,
Mighty creator, merciful, sustainer, one and only,
His praises sing, He planned and perfected the universe.

Allah, the very first the Omniscient,
The Supreme, the Lord of the Universe,
The Omnipotent is there since infinity by His own Omnipotence,
the uncreated,
The Lord, the One, the Unique, the Provider, the Master, the Merciful,
Praise the true Lord by singing hymn of wisdom,
The Generous One Himself sustains the universe.
