1. I remembered kissing the fingertips of a palm

    whose soothing touch may heal the wound of calamities.

  2. So I sent my letter to her as a deputy for my mouth—

    how lovely it is: a letter made tangible by her touch!

  3. Fingers created for nothing but noble deeds:

    how much blessing they have brought, how much misery dispelled!

  4. When will the days permit the journey that

    will show me a dwelling made welcoming by noble virtues,

  5. and behold an axis of sovereignty, around whom

    the firmament of glory revolves, guarded by good fortune?

  6. A generous man—whenever the estranging distances fling

    a seeker toward him, the seeker becomes immersed in bounty.

  7. When hands are blackened by a stinginess that disgraces them,

    how many a shining hand has Moses generously bestowed!
