[How Solomon, on whom be peace, urged the envoys to hasten the emigration of Bilqis (from her kingdom) for the Faith’s sake.]

Even as in (the spiritual) warfare King Solomon drew the cavalry and foot-soldiers of Bilqis (towards him),

Saying, “O honoured men, come quickly, quickly, for the waves have risen from the sea of bounty.

At every moment the surge of its waves is scattering shorewards a hundred pearls without danger (to those who seek them).

We cry (you) welcome, O people of righteousness, for now Rizwan hath opened the gate of Paradise.”

Then Solomon said, “O couriers, go to Bilqis and believe in this Religion.

Then bid her come hither with all speed, for verily God inviteth to the (abode of) peace.”

Hark, come speedily, O seeker of felicity, for now is (the time for) manifestations (of spiritual grace) and the opening of the door.

O thou who art not a seeker, come thou also, that thou mayst gain (the gift of) seeking (felicity) from this faithful Friend.
