                                                Will be said:
                                                “O thou soul!
                                                 In complete rest
                                                 And satisfaction!
                                                 Come back thou
                                                 To thy Lord
                                                 Well pleased thyself
                                                 And well pleasing
                                                 Unto Him!
                                                 Enter thou, then,
                                                 Among My Devotees!
                                                 Yea, enter thou
                                                 My heaven.”
