My darling Rozia!
On this occasion both of the New Year & your birthday
I send you these warm greetings:
May boundless happiness & pleasure be yours without cease,
May all obstacles be removed from the road you travel,
May sweet things continue for you & last you through your life!
All this I wish you from my heart.
