1. When a young man reaches seventy years
Zainab or Thumamah's beauty no more he fears

2. Rather, take off the clothes of play and folly
And wear the clothes of fear for Judgment Day

3. I came to you but you did not grant my wish
Yet your stars in righteousness remained steadfast

4. You issue verdicts on perplexing affairs
Never tiring of consultation and taking care

5. Your wisdom has no peer or equal
None contests you without soon feeling regret

6. Loyal to truth, piety and righteousness
Your words straightforward, no cause for upset

7. Your views like those of Abi Sa'eed
Your lineage like Abi Dulamah's indeed
