The slave Jaʿfar
-
In the name of God, the merciful and compassionate.
-
The slave of my master, the glorious leader, may God prolong his life and cause to endure his strength, his support, his safety
-
and his bounty and crush his enemies, congratulates his glorious presence, may God cause his safety to endure, in this blessed year
-
[ hundred and] twenty, [may God and make eternal] its blessing, and make it the most blessed and happy year for his glorious presence
-
and let it not bring the delay of a high appointment for him. Likewise my gracious lord [and] glorious [presence,]
-
may God cause his support to endure, I ask God to make it for him the most blessed of years through his grace and munificence.
-
His slave congratulates my lord [ ] the leader in his present circumstances and asks God to allow him to achieve his wish.
-
The slave requests that they do not withdraw their support from me, for I have no one to turn to except them.
-
I ask God to grant the pious prayers that I make for them day and night. The slave relies on
-
God, the exalted, and on the munificence of his glorious presence for assistance in preventing them from
-
withdrawing their support from me. I ask God to answer my pious prayers, for the slave is sorely pressed
-
in a state of weakness. He has no one to turn to except God and them. I ask God to make complete for them his bounties.
Margin
- Our sufficiency is God, alone. Praise be to God alone, his benedictions be upon our lord Muḥammad, the prophet, and his family and save them, if God wills.
