‘O the house of justice is your residence, the rug of the throne is the paving on your road,
The keeper of the breeze of the Zephyr sweeps your court with the hairs of the eyelashes,
May your good fortune be everlasting, may fate accord with the wishes of your sun and moon.
You are noble, generous and munificent, the creatures of the two worlds seek your pardon,
In the gathering of joy and success may success be your companion and God your refuge.'
