Say: From My stipulations there passes the sweet smell (`arf) of My gown and by them the standards of victory are erected on hillocks and hills.

The tongue of My power (qudrati) has spoken in the might (jabarut) of My greatness, addressing My people, (saying), "Perform my stipulations out of love for My beauty (jamali)". Blessed is the lover who found the sweet smell of the beloved (coming) out of this word from which aromas of grace were diffused, that they be not described (only) by remembrances!

I swear by My life (la `amri), whoever drinks of pure wine (rahiq) of equity from the hands of the benefits will make the circuit of My commands which arise from the horizon of new things (al-abda').
