1. Your eloquent words have delighted me,
Containing wisdom and clear speech.

2. Radiant, beautiful meanings -
Their sun has not set behind a veil.

3. For the seekers it is clear, cool water,
While all else is a shimmering mirage.

4. The water of beauty flows through it, as
The water of youth flows in a lovely maid.

5. We have not seen before it a string of pearls
Containing the line of a text in its setting.

6. It flows from the words of a man of merit -
To me, he is the greatest of friends.

7. So I have contemplated and wished for a time
When I and my family may join and be close.

8. Then I have met his hands with a prayer,
A worthy supplication, sure to be answered.

9. O beloved friends, you are my desire,
And to you in exaltation is my kinship.

10. Thoughts of you preoccupy me when present,
And your praise comforts me when far away.
