Do not despair, dear, for hope has appeared. The hope of all souls has arrived from the unseen.
Do not despair even if Mary has slipped from your grasp, for the light that lifted Jesus to the heavens has come.
Do not despair, O soul, in the darkness of this prison, for the king who bought Joseph from captivity has arrived.
Jacob emerged from the veil of secrecy; Joseph, who tore Zuleikha's veil, has come.
O night, carried into dawn with your cries of "O Lord, O Lord," that "O Lord, O Lord" was heard with mercy and has come.
O ancient pain, rejoice, for healing has arrived. O tightly locked door, open, for the key has come.
O you who have fasted from the heavenly feast, break your fast joyfully, for the crescent of the festival has arrived.
Be silent and be silent, for from the command of "Be," that pause of wonder has added to the speech.
