The Gulistán

If I had on the day of Resurrection an opportunity
Near the Compassionate One [I should say]: "O Lord,
I am the sinner and Thou the beneficent Master;
For all the ill I have done I crave for thy bounty."

Gratitude is due [from me to God] that this book is ended before my life has reached its termination.

THE END
