1. Take it from me, O Abu Ishaq, hastily
A title of sincere affection, noble in news and reports

2. A missive issued, while yearning spurs it on
With the heart following it, and the body in its tracks

3. Your land thirsts, seeking drink from you
The heart is famished, and seeks healing from you

4. In meeting with you, present good, and visions
If in the unseen there is forgetting from life

5. Whoever missed the path, and darkness persists
His eyes see no light but the radiance of the moon
