O Thou Almighty God! Confirm Thou these friends
and the maid-servants of the Merciful! Grant Thou
to them assistance. Open Thou before their faces the
closed doors and make them intimate with the fragrances

that they may exhilarate and gladden the regions of
the West and impart attraction and ecstasy!
