and through you only are the ailed healed

 وَمَا تَزْدَادُ الأرْحَامُ وَمَا تَغِيضُ،

Verily, I have full faith in your Secret

 وَلِقَوْلِكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ،

wa liqawlikum musallmun,

and I am fully submissive to your words

 وَعَلَى اللّهِ بِكُمْ مُقْسِمٌ فِي رَجْعِي بِحَوَائِجِي وَقَضَائِهَا وَإمْضَائِهَا وَإنْجَاحِهَا وَإبْرَاحِهَا وَبِشُؤُونِي لَدَيْكُمْ وَصَلاحِهَا،

wa `al� all�hi bikum muqsimun f� raj`y bi�aw��ijy wa qa���ih� wa im���ih� wa inj��ih� wa ibr��ih� wa bishu��ny ladaykum wa �al��ih�,

and I thus ask you by Allah to settle, respond to, give success to, and set aright all my needs and all my affairs towards you.

 وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلامَ مُوَدِّعٍ،

the drinking from the pure drink

 وَعَلٍّ وَنَهَلٍ لا سَأَمَ مِنْهُ وَلا مَلَلَ،

wa `allin wa nahalin l� sa�ama minhu wa l� malala,

and the divine spring whose drink is refreshing and thirst-quenching that is never bored or fed up.

 وَرَحْمَةُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ وَتَحِيَّاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى الْعَوْدِ إلَى حَضْرَتِكُمْ،
