O my merciful Lord! This is a hyacinth which hath grown in
the garden of Thy good pleasure and a twig which hath appeared in the orchard
of true knowledge. Cause it, O Lord of bounty, to be refreshed continually and
at all times through Thy vitalizing breezes, and make it verdant, fresh and
flourishing through the outpourings of the clouds of Thy favours, O Thou kind
Lord!
Verily Thou art the All-Glorious.
