Generous one, the thanks I owe for your gifts cannot be set down truly by the pen. Last night, waiting for your promise, a single breath stretched from nothing into being. Whoever gets a morsel stuck in their throat, help them along, for they have done no wrong.
Explanation: The 'morsel stuck in the throat' is an idiom for someone caught in trouble or hardship; the plea is to assist rather than blame them.

هر کرا لقمه در گلو گیرد در کارش کن که بی گناهست
