May the blessings which flow in all weddingsbe gathered, God, together in our wedding!The blessings of the Night of Power, the month of fasting the festival to break the fastthe blessings of the meeting of Adam and Evethe blessings of the meeting of Joseph and Jacobthe blessings of gazing on the paradise of all abodesand yet another blessing which cannot be put in words: the fruitful scattering of joy of the children of the Shayak and our eldest!In companionship and happiness may you be like milk and honeyin union and fidelity, just like sugar and halva.May the blessings of those who toast and the one who pours the wineanoint the ones who said Amen and the one who said the prayer.Translation by Franklin D. Lewis "Rumi -- Past and Present, East andWest" Oneworld
