Yet evident when contending and debating

But for aiding neighbors he's keen and open

A fortress fortified against misfortune and affliction

Through whom the world gleams brighter and seems wholesome

For his sublime ascent, however long the night and gloaming

٩. فهُنِّىءَ شَهْرُ الصَّوْمِ والدَّهْرُ كُلُّهُ
بعَلْيائِهِ ما كَرَّ صُبْحٌ ومَوْهِنُ
