On perusing the contents of thy brilliant letter, I
became cognizant of the secrets of thy heart, which is
illumined by the clear light.

Verily, I supplicate my Lord to cause to descend
upon thee an abundant grace of the spirit of His Holiness,
that thine eyes may become clear and thy mind
rejoiced by the gift which hath shone over all regions.

Know that the poor people hasten by parties to the
Kingdom of God; the weak become mighty before thy
Lord, and the slaves when entering the shadow of thy
Lord attain the station of masters, lords and freed
slaves in the presence of God.

Grieve not because of my confinement, for it is a
joy to my heart, a pleasure to my spirit, a good news to
my soul, an utmost desire of my hope, an intended
aim of my aspiration; because it is a confinement in the
path of God, the Lord of the worlds.
