1. O beloved of the Friend, to You I pray
A prayer - You who hears and answers ever -

2. A nation of Your handmaidens gathered
To convey it soon to You

3. I married them not without Your inclination-
See if You allow me to be disappointed

4. And little of attainment in this state
Is what I see a wondrous thing

5. And true that when ease occurred
It increased for a needy son and was good

6. So take advantage of a plan I gave You
A gentle, praiseworthy load

7. And whenever You wish to repeat, repeat
You are not strange to do it again
