Translation of a Persian couplet:<br />
I talked very little and feared hurting your heart<br />
Knowing your short temper, I refrained from what I’d impart.<br />
May Allahu ta’âlâ bless us with doing the things which He<br />
likes! For the sake of His beloved Prophet, Hadrat Muhammad,<br />
and his dear Ahl-i bayt, may He accept our prayer! The carrier<br />
of this letter, Mawlânâ Ishâq, is an acquaintance and mukhlis of<br />
this faqîr. We have shared the rights of neighbors for a long<br />
time. If he asks for any sort of assistance, I hope that you will<br />
not disappoint him, inshâ’Allah. He has the talent of elegance of<br />
style in handwriting. Wassalâm.<br />
No, no! You are never treated unjustly by your Allah!<br />
What you suffer from is an atonement for your deeds!<br />
42 – SECOND VOLUME, 81st LETTER<br />
This letter, written to Muhammad Murâd, gives advice<br />
and praises warâ’ and taqwâ.<br />
Hamd be to Allahu ta’âlâ and salâm to the people whom He<br />
chooses and loves! I am afraid that my dear friends might have<br />

sweet appearance, like children. I feel anxious that with the<br />
prodding of the accursed devil and the human satans they may<br />
cease from what is mubâh (permitted) and do what is dubious<br />
or dive into the harâm, thus falling down to a shameful state in<br />
the presence of our Owner. It is necessary to repent and ask for<br />
Allah’s pardon and entreat Him. Things that are harâm or<br />
dubious should be known as fatal poisons. Couplet:<br />
In short, what is there to tell you but,<br />
You are a child, and the way is dreadful.<br />
Being very bounteous, generous and merciful, Allahu ta’âlâ<br />
made many things mubâh (permissible) for His born servants;<br />
He gave us permission to do many things. So wretched and<br />
poor are those who, not being satisfied with the mubâh<br />
because of their sick souls and corrupt hearts, exceed the<br />
borders of Islam and go as far as to do the dubious or harâm<br />
things, leaving off so many inexhaustible mubâh choices. It is<br />
necessary to observe the borders of Islam and not to go beyond<br />
it. There are many people who perform namâz and who fast<br />
customarily and habitually. But those who observe the borders<br />
