1. Greetings, O son of Mawdudi, for I
Have seen flashes in which foundations lie

2. And if separation becomes prolonged, and estrangement endures
I am not far removed from you

3. Do not turn away from sincere affection
For I am drawing near, no longer distant

4. Have you not seen that in every matter
And affliction, I am a helping hand to you

5. And I do not doubt that you are loving
And that you are truthful in keeping promises

6. So these are my greetings to you
As long as the two firmaments revolve above their pillars

7. And may our Lord pray, as long as lightning flashes
Upon the best of mankind, anchor of foundations

8. And I will not break a promise to you
For you are faithful in keeping pacts
