They say, “A wasting sickness has afflicted you,” so I said, “No!”
They say you are in dire straits, but I said no
For my God's grace at such a time is subtle.
For my God's kindness then begins to grow

لَهُ جُلُّ َلْطَافٍ ودَقُّ مَواهِبٍ

لِمَنْ كانَ للبابِ الْوَسِعِ يَدُقُّ
His are great kindnesses and delicate gifts
He has the most subtle graces and precise gifts
for whoever keeps knocking at the spacious gate.
For those who knock upon the widest door
