1. Oh Abu Ja'far, you have outlined a scheme for me
In which you were unjust and did not act with fairness

2. And you informed me of words I had said
More burning and more innocent than streaming tears

3. You imagined I opposed you
What should be the reward of a favored brother?

4. And you said he sees me with scornful eyes
And values me as the lowest of creatures

5. That is because I am from Jubail
Why did you say that and did not wait?

6. We both have a bald spot in our chests
So Baghdad is closer to Jubail

7. Leave off what is indecent after you conceal it
And turn away from the problematic unknown

8. And affirm the bond between us
With words of truth in the future
