1. Alas Abu Ja'far! And for time, goodness gracious!
You have let loose a lion against its prey,

2. While you remain at ease, so take heed of when it pounces.
In you lies its strength, and if its needs were met, it would be sated

3. By the counsel of Al Junayd, Al Fath and Al Ra’id
Affairs would proceed, O Luqa’!
