O thou who art enkindled with the fire of the Love of
God!

Thank thou thy revered friend and thy attracted
(spiritual) sister who hath guided thee to this right
path and given thee to drink the choice wine of knowledge
from the cheerful cup. Wert thou duly informed
of this divine bounty, thou wouldst kneel down and
prostrate thyself before her for this great gift. For,
verily, thou wert athirst and she was a clear running
fountain. Thank thou God for that He hath favored
thee with her meeting, that thou art benefited by her
clouds and sought light from her lamp. Wert thou to
expend all that is in the earth, thou wouldst not appreciate
her due value. Glorified is He who hath enabled
her to illumine thine insight, to purify thy heart, to
dilate thy breast and to sanctify thy soul!

Then know thou, if thy revered husband herald the
Kingdom of God among peoples, he would find the
doors of the Kingdom open before his face among the
nations, and then his breath would take effect within
the heart of the world through the breath of the Holy
Spirit.

I beg of God to guide him unto that whereunto He
hath guided thee, and to favor him with that with which
He hath favored thee. At that time the lamps of gifts
will be enkindled among thy kinsmen and people.

Verily, thy Lord is the Beneficent, the Merciful, the
Giver!

Upon ye be greeting and praise!
