6- O He who collects the little that is given to Him and shows gratitude for the paltry that is done for Him! 7- O He who shows gratitude for the small and rewards with the great! 8- O He who comes close to him who comes close to Him! 9- O He who invites to Himself him who turns his back on Him! 10- O He who changes not favour[^1] and rushes not to vengeance! 11- O He who causes the good deed to bear fruit so that He may make it grow, and overlooks the evil deed so that He may efface it!

12- Hopes turn back with needs fulfilled short of the extent of Thy generosity, the cups of requests fill up with the overflow of Thy munificence, and attributes fall apart without reaching Thy description. For to Thee belongs the highest highness above everything high, and the most glorious majesty beyond every majesty! 13- Everything majestic before Thee is small, everything eminent beside Thy eminence vile!

Those who reach other than Thee are disappointed, those who present themselves to other than Thee have lost, those who stay with other than Thee have perished, and those who retreat - except those who retreat to Thy bounty - are desolate! 14- Thy door is open to the beseechers, Thy munificence free to the askers, Thy help near to the help-seekers!

15- The expectant are not disappointed by Thee, those who present themselves despair not of Thy bestowal, the forgiveness-seekers become not wretched through Thy vengeance! 16- Thy provision is spread among those who disobey Thee, Thy clemency presents itself to those hostile toward Thee, Thy habit is beneficence toward the evildoers, and Thy wont is to spare the transgressors, so much so that Thy lack of haste deludes them from returning, and Thy disregard bars them from desisting!

17- Thou actest without haste toward them so that they will come back to Thy command and Thou disregardest them confident in the permanence of Thy kingdom, so Thou sealest him who is worthy of it with felicity, and Thou abandonest him who is worthy of it to wretchedness! 18- All of them come home to Thy decree, their affairs revert to Thy command; Thy authority grows not feeble through their drawn out term, Thy proof is not refuted by the failure to hurry after them.

19- Thy argument is established, never refuted, Thy authority fixed, never removed. Permanent woe belongs to him who inclines away from Thee, forsaking disappointment to him who is disappointed by Thee, and the most wretched wretchedness to him who is deluded about Thee!
