Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.

Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to say, - Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.

For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, - Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!
