ope, through the divine grace and
bounty, thou wilt be assisted and strengthened therein.

"O thou who art kindled as a lamp with the Fire of the..."

O thou who art kindled as a lamp with the Fire of the Love of God!

Be thou a fountain flowing with the waters of the mercy of God, a myrtle
perfumed with the fragrances of God and a bird warbling the most wonderful
melodies of the knowledge of God in the garden of faith.

Know thou, verily, the Sun of Truth hath shone forth with the lights of
peace upon all regions. Strife and conflict will surely be removed from
all the nations of the earth. Carnage shall be taken away; fighting,
violence and reviling will be changed into universal reconciliation and
the hosts of tranquillity will pitch their tents in the midst of the
world. Then the awning of the mercy of thy Lord will be hoisted and those
souls who are free from the filth of prejudice, contradictions and
presumption and are filled with a love that imparts affinity, intimacy,
affection, meekness and humbleness will be sheltered under it.

"O thou who art cheerful in heart, by the Fragrances..."

O thou who art cheerful in heart, by the Fragrances of the Merciful!

Verily, I read the verses of thy thanksgiving unto God, for depositing in
thy heart an eternal joy reviving thee by the breath of the Holy spirit to
everlasting life, [for having] cast upon thee the light of guidance and
awakened thee by the breezes of His great mercy. Therefore, thank God for
this. Verily, His bounty to thee is great, great!

Beware not to be sorrowful on account of my confinement; inasmuch as it is
the comfort of my heart, the healing of my breast, the dispeller of my
sorrow and sadness, the cause of my salvation in servitude to the Bounty
of El-Abha.

If thou desirest to pray for me a beneficial prayer, do not ask for the
removal of my imprisonment, but implore God to increase my calamities in
the Path of El-Abha, to make me a sacrifice in His love and give me to
drink the cup of martyrdom by His bounty and grace.

I ask God to confirm thee by the breath of His Holy Spirit, the hosts of
His angels and armies of His strength, so that thou arisest to serve the
vineyard of God and to enlighten the insight of thy revered husband by the
light of the knowledge of the Greatest Name. This is not far from the
bounty of thy Lord.

The maid-servant of Baha', the Exalted Leaf(191), conveys to thee
greetings and praise--likew
