LETTER CLXXVIII.

You should make a petition to prince A’azam. The prince has interceded for the fault of A’atibár Khán*. Sai­yad Sa’ad Alláh Dervish* has written to the prince to practise great patience. You should write to the prince the two (following) fine and charming hemistichs sung by Abdūl Kádir Bedil* which are applicable to this case: (verse) “Fear the sighs of the oppressed; because at the time of their prayer acceptance comes to receive them from the court of God (i.e., the sighs of the oppressed are heard and responded to by God)”.
