(٣٣) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الرُّوحِ ﴾
بِبِشارَةِ النُّورِ أُبَشِّرُكَ فَاسْتَبْشِرْ بِهِ، وَإِلى مَقَرِّ القُدْسِ أَدْعُوكَ تَحَصَّنْ فِيهِ، لِتَسْتَريحَ إِلَى أَبَدِ الأَبَدِ.

(33) O SON OF SPIRIT!
With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court of holiness I summon thee; abide therein that thou mayest live in peace for evermore.
