whole. Undoubtedly the friends of God have been endowed
with ability and capacity, on which account this became of the "chosen"
and not of the "called."

O thou spiritual friend! This world is a prison for heavenly souls, and
this earthly world is but a cage, and not a nest, unto the divine birds. A
prisoner who is awake and conscious will certainly seek for freedom, and a
mindful bird will certainly wish for deliverance from the cage. When the

O thou who are enkindled by the fire of the Love of God!

Verily, I received thy good and beautiful letter and I found it to be a
sign of thy love and an evidence of thy being attracted to the Beauty of
El-ABHA. I ask God to make thee a caller to the Kingdom of El-ABHA, in

O thou who art made happy by the Fragrances of God!

Verily, I have not forgotten thee and will never forget thee. I supplicate
my Lord and thy Lord to make thee a sign of His love among the
maid-servants of the Merciful and an overflowing chalice with the wine of
