1. You have done well in managing your affairs, O Hasan,
And succeeded in analyzing the dispositions of strife.

2. You were not impetuous in harming the weak,
During conflict, nor the feeble, O brother of frailty.

3. You go to bed while your opinion is detached from your passion,
And harm lies in the hands of vain desires that weaken resolve.

4. An illness of leadership is following desires,
And its cure is rejection, with a pleasant demeanor.

5. And if a young man examines too much in defending himself,
He turns his friend into an enemy for his war.

6. Do not listen if evil calls you, for evil is
To rise up for it so it rises up, and if you are still, it is still.

7. And the opinion of the righteous does not stir up strife,
It calms down, even if strife stirs it up it becomes reassured.

8. Returning an enemy to a friend is wisdom
That clarifies the life of the wise from bitterness.

9. With the sword and benevolence you seize glory,
And obtaining it through both together is dependent.

10. There is no good in favors, nor a sword that
Passes by, nor in the sword that has no favors.

11. There is injustice in the sword, so avoid making it the arbiter
In what undermines the order of the Supreme and demeans Him.

12. As for your adornments, your fear has not left
A family for them among the visitors or the inhabitants.

13. You have deprived them of it, and it is enough for you to be satisfied
In Mecca, they did not make you need to commit transgression.

14. They left you donations without resistance,
And held on to the branches of palm trees and spears.

15. They protected themselves by fleeing, a sword
Upon souls that is not entrusted.

16. And protecting it by fleeing is the greatest witness for you
Of the Most High, so why the regret and sorrow?

17. So sheathe your swords out of desire, not fear,
There is no goodness in one who flees terrified slain.

18. And honor your swords against the blood of those who flee from them.
For the free man honors his sword if it is disgraced.

19. He would not be pleased to debase his sword
Upon the back of one whose father your father is Abu Al-Hassan.

20. And you have become capable, and with the capability of people of restraint,
You dissolve the rancor and malice of resentments.

21. Musa ibn Zubayr cannot be withstood in war,
But where is Musa compared to Hasan?

22. That one is in Yemen, and did not leave Yemen to him,
And this one is in Syria and did not leave Syria.

23. So look to Musa, for youthful times have become inflamed with him
When it was angry with him over events of the times.

24. He tasted bitterness over the separation of his homelands,
So he lost the wife and the separation of body and soul.

25. If you willed, and it is easy and simple for you,
You could have brought together his eyelids and canine tooth.

26. Buy from him his brain and take what he has
In exchange, let there be from him the things of value and the price.

27. This is the bargaining of heroes, and whoever sells
What was sold, no deception clings to his deal.

28. We came with good thoughts to ask you for acceptance
And pardon for him, so do not disappoint the good thoughts about you.

29. For the free man honors his questioners, he sees for them
Virtue when he starts with them with good thoughts.

30. And the ignoble belittles his questioner because of his assumption
About the likes of him, something good, and that is not assumed.

31. I still continue building with the immortalized nobility
More nobility and glory secondary to the sons of Hasan.
