Fortune Returns

Luck and prosperity came flowing back to me like a running stream, and from good fortune the graceful cypress, my beloved, returned to me. Every day I grew old longing for the sight of that lovely face; now in my old age my young luck has come back again. The friend returned and the enemy fled from me; thanks be for this blessing, that life came back into my weary body. Bring me good news, dear friend, for the suffering has passed; the blessing of victory and ease has arrived in due time. Prosperity came to my side, luck and good fortune arrived; out of joy, Jupiter, the star of blessing, came back to its arc. The sun of generosity and the moon of light both arrived; the crown of good fortune and grace appeared plainly before me. Sa'di, the crown of happiness has arrived once more, for the one who had gone came back like a running stream.
