51 My children that is a bestowal from Thee I may see each one of them as a pious one What limits are there concerning Thy might! Pray give them everything that Thou hast given me! A wonderful Benefactor art Thou, the Ocean of help; Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. Pray rid them Thou of filthiness Pray grant them salvation through piety. (30) May they prosper and live in happiness Pray save them, O God, from an evil life. May they be like me callers unto Faith Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. Pray show their high rank upon their foreheads; The dread of Antichrist may never make it to their homes. Pray save them from every grief, at all times May they never get rundown by gloom and dejection. This is the hope that the heart has stated Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. (35) I pray, O my Belovèd, that they May never see the times of grief. May they never leave this door of Thine My Master pray protect them at all times. This is the hope, O my Guide Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. May they never see times of helplessness The times of calamity, grief and inability. Let it be so that I may see their righteousness When it is time for me to depart. (40) Thou hast announced the glad tidings ahead of time Holy is He Who has confounded my foes. We have the gift of God-fearing from that Belovèd Not by our self but simply through the grace of God. Strive hard to gain, if you are true and pure For this is the condition for seeing Him. This 53 is the mirror that displays the Creator This is the reality behind the sword of prayer The root of all virtues is fearing God All is well if this root is preserved. (45) This is the pride and eminence of the saints Except for fearing God, what else do they have? Do fear, O friends, for He is a Watchful God If you ponder, this 54 is the place for recompense.
