1. Trust, my dear, in God Almighty,
In justice and great virtue.

2. Can an aggressor overcome my right
And exhaust me when I've not lost my helper?

3. I lost my composure and steadfastness
When despair crept into my conscience.

4. And if insight betrayed me when I stumbled
Upon sorrow and took the short view.

5. If troubles befell me one day
My sincerity and faith are my liberators.

6. And my striving to reform myself
And walk the enlightened path.

7. Ask, my dear, whoever you meet about me
And frequent my companion and friend.

8. So you may know your weeping did not neglect me
Nor did he who is the best of matters neglect.

9. So do not worry about him or be concerned
For my benefactor rewards in kind.

10. And if a supervisor has turned away from him
How many experts are between authority!

11. It is inconceivable that truth be lost in us
When the final judgment is among us.

12. Clear minded, confused thoughts perplex me
As do confused words on a difficult day.

13. Trust that soon he will satisfy me and my opponent
Together and bring abundant good.

14. He will give him his full salary
And keep him in his important position.

15. And he will move me to Egypt, and this
Is no great matter for him.
