1. إِنْ غِبْتَ أَوْدَعَكَ الإِلَهُ حِياطَةً

    وإِذا قَدِمْتَ أَباحَكَ التَّرْحِيبا

    If you are absent, he entrusts you to God for safekeeping;

    and when you return, he offers you welcome.

  2. ويَكونُ مِنْ مِقَةٍ كِتابُكَ عِنْدَهُ

    كَقَميصِ يُوسُفَ إِذْ أَتى يَعْقوبا

    Out of affection, your letter is to him

    like Joseph’s shirt when it came to Jacob.
