1. O son of my heart, for whom all praise is due
You have attained the epitome of etiquette and class

2. And excelled in composing beautiful poetry
You are called the most exceptional and gifted one

3. A letter has reached me, with lines
That transcend ordinary meanings and concepts

4. Its words are like pearls, precisely strung
By lips parting like buds in a garden

5. It healed my troubled heart, like a soothing balm
For sustenance from God flows through your poetry

6. I complained of distance, though in truth
It is the nature of time to separate and divide

7. But I made your home my heart's destination
So sorrow cannot reach me anymore

8. Think not that distance comes between us
For my love and nearness to you is eternal

9. Each day I hope to see you again
But destiny's way is to bar and forbid

10. Still God grants me the honor of your grace
And may you be blessed with success, glory and joy
