O thou bird of pleasing tones!
Thy little book of poems, which were very sweet, was read. It was a source
of joy, for it was a spiritual anthem and a melody of the love of God.
Continue as long as thou canst this melody in the gatherings of the
beloved; thus may the minds find rest and joy and become in tune with the
love of God. When eloquence of expression, beauty of sense and sweetness
of composition unite with new melodies the effect is very great,
especially if it be the anthem of the verses of oneness and the songs of
praise to the Lord of Glory.
Endeavor your utmost to compose beautiful poems to be chanted with
heavenly music; thus may their beauty affect the minds and impress the
hearts of those who listen.

confirmation whereby thy face will be gladdened, thy heart rejoiced and
all thy family will be happy and pleased. Therefore, confine thy thoughts
and ideas in turning to God and submitting unto Him and chant the signs
(verses) of thanks and praise for that by reason of which He hath
strengthened thee to attain this great gift.
"O thou daughter of the Kingdom!..."
O thou daughter of the Kingdom!
Thank and praise God that He hath
