1. Upon Allah alone reliance in purpose is placed
And He alone grants success to him of purpose possessed

2. He it is who guides to the paths whereby
Man attains the right guidance he sought to possess

3. He leads astray and guides with justice in His decree
And each He makes attain the destination He assessed

4. We accepted Him as Lord who guided us to guidance
Through the best Messenger after whom none progressed

5. So this, though a man's relating what
Benefits the benefited diminishes not his worth

6. I came to Abraham near a town
To revive after separation our friendship of old

7. And enjoy veneration, hospitality fine
And fulfillment of promises made of yore untold

8. So I came from Kaulakh, of dwellings the most plush
And learned of that locality the distance remote

9. Abode of the trusted, chosen best of lords
Whom people's flocking to him did not inhibit or choke

10. I yearned for him while torrents around him rushed
And valley streams overflowed with coursing flood

11. Through streets' deep mire I waded to reach him
None but Allah knew what I braved in that neighborhood

12. But when I came he showed not joy for my sake
And it would not have harmed him to show pleasure untold

13. He talked till I tired of his talk
And revealed my contrary intent and aim as I was told

14. Then I bade him farewell as one who cares not
When such unwanted conversation he did behold
