1. Would that this fast had lasted for us

    year after year—nay, would that it had lasted a thousand years!

  2. Indeed, a month in which every day we saw

    the face of the Imam and the son of the Imam

  3. surely deserves that, on its account, we remain

    downcast in spirit and visibly emaciated.

  4. May God curse whoever deems anyone more enti—

    —tled to it than you, among all humankind.

  5. May God curse whoever counts anything but your coun—

    —sel as help to him against the vicissitudes of time.

Sol 5.6
