1. You have repaid excessive affection with reciprocation
And one like you who attained guidance and was guided

2. You have never ceased to follow the way of Ahmed
Constructing from it all that was constructed

3. And resembling him in guidance, righteousness and creed
Thus does one resemble virtuous fathers if born with fortune

4. And I have never ceased to expect in you this sagacity
And made it known until it appeared from you

5. May your good fortune guide your abundant affection toward us
And the good fortune of a man for a man has always been a guide

6. So do not shy from what befalls you of sorrows
For all that could keep distant has come to pass from it

7. When the ignorant shun a matter, his manners recoil from it
And he is laden with pretense

8. While you will find the brilliant, noble-natured intelligent man
His traits made more resolute by calamities

9. And you are indeed witnessed to have wisdom, discernment
And resolve when times grew difficult and calamitous

10. I do not mix my advice toward your affection fearing
It would diminish should time treat it badly

11. But it is a reminder that increases your passion for me
And loyalty when all passions have changed and renewed

12. I swore a solemn oath by my honorable fathers
And by God thereafter even more binding

13. You will grant me my request from what you love
And attain the utmost extent of what you hope for in return

14. It is but a night whose essence was beautiful
So do not despair, observe it tomorrow
