1. Your hope for attaining happiness is a door,
And none below who seek your friendship have a veil.

2. If a hopeful thought whispers to you, its triumph
Is to obtain from you the entirety of what it desires in response.

3. Your right hand is for the prosperous an ocean and paradise,
Bearing fruit that never exhausts and clouds that pour.

4. With you the excellence of the Most Excellent King is shepherded,
So its obtainer is rain and you are the clouds.

5. He is the sea, the rivers, the Nile and life,
And the rest of mankind's possessions are a mirage.

6. From his veneration he has placed you in an exalted position,
It has Saturn, and the stars are but dust.

7. O God's blessing that has spread through the world,
His beneficence did not suffice to provide an alternative.

8. Your servant has some needs within your abundant favor,
The fruits of which for him are praise and reward.

9. Vigor and zeal have urged me to seek you,
And he whose view indicates what is right.

10. The extent of my ambition for the nights
Is that the two dear ones have included me in their company.

11. And I have entrusted my needs through the favor of the children of Abu Al-
Shujaa', for they are my refuge and destination.

12. Indeed God has made successful the efforts at their door,
And a people turned away from it, so they failed.

13. Fields of generosity for hopes are fertile,
Sources of favor for the destitute are torment.

14. He turns to you who has been wronged by fate, and
Insurmountable tribulations have oppressed him.

15. And how often ruinous adversity has destroyed a person,
And fate has claws and fangs against him.

16. So he called upon Abu Abdillah in distress,
And that dispelled those tribulations from him.

17. And good omens have given me the glad tidings of success,
An unadulterated assumption, a secret that cannot be faulted.

18. So may your favor attend to whoever seeks it humbly,
For that is a custom that does not fail or pass away.

19. Then live in the life of the Most Gracious, who revives the world
With abundant favor that is hoped for and revered.
