Sol 6.1

  1. And when kings are congratulated, may you be greeted at dawn

    with the feast's most auspicious congratulations.

  2. And may the pilgrim released from consecration ransom you—sacrifice is in the land

    of Minā—and the pilgrim chanting the invocation at ʿArafāt.

  3. And you received in advance the reward of one whom consecration

    stripped of ragged clothes at the appointed station.

  4. And God answered [my prayer] for you—

    the Forgiver of sin, the Hearer of voices.

  5. I visited him, with wealth but a wish; my hand's

    last acquaintance with gifts had taxed people's memories.

  6. So it was as though I possessed the forelock of Time,

    and steered it according to my desires.
