1. O Abu Ishaq, my dear friend
You are water and air

2. And you have favor that was never
Awaited by any wish

3. So explain to me, O my friend
Full of modesty

4. Why the image of visitations faded
And the sight of meetings disappeared

5. The shadow of caring did not diminish
Nor affection decline

6. Return to your early habits
For solace has become difficult

7. So I praise you abundantly
And gratitude is the reward

8. The best gift for your like
Is praise from one like me
