1. Glory be to you, O son of Batan, though
The renowned liberality in Al-Basaita has a denier,

2. If there is one generous person in the world
Who outweighs all, that one is you.

3. You bestowed your bounty on Ja`far and he lives by it
Whatever glory there was, your mention is eternal.

4. The people all came together in the one
Son, as the Exalted and Parent willed.

5. And these nights, their circumstances still
Afflict the noble, splendid man.

6. But with the help of God, that of you which
Time, corrupt, had changed, will be set right.
