1. Greetings like the blossoming of meadows at dawn,
And gentler than the passing of the breeze, sweeter still,

2. To the one I've yearned for since I heard his name,
I wrestle with longing, and longing prevails.

3. O you, conveyer of the Judge's decrees, convey
Special greetings to the beloved from a loving soul,

4. Of ample benevolence, a cave dispelling distress,
A leader guiding to righteousness, drawing near through worship.

5. So you who fills the august office of judge, plead
That you may attain what you seek from Him.

6. May He show you kindness and favor again
For the Judge of judges has been aloof a long while.

7. Simple in benevolence, encompassing perfection,
His eloquence illuminates the meaning of rhetoric, drawing near.

8. And though ceasing to judge allows him comfort,
The hearts of people, by God, grow weary.

9. Who else in creation can match his polish?
Which of mankind is as refined?
