1. They said, “How long will you love the House of Muhammad,

    remaining heartsmitten with them by day and spending the night so?”

  2. I answered them, “Cease your reproach, for I

    was shown the path of loving them, and thus was guided.”

  3. They said, “But poverty is the allotted share of those who love them.”

    “Are you content with that?” I said, “Yes—I am content, content.”

  4. Indeed, I have gained treasures that I secured

    from the alchemy of loving them, and so grew rich.

  5. So cease your reproach, for my very soul has been roused

    by the herald of guidance; I answered when I was called.

Sol 5.6
