1. Abu Ja'far, you have always been a generous benefactor,
Repaying manifold the good you receive.

2. Your bounty to kin surpasses all,
And your bounty to strangers and the distant.

3. It gladdens my soul, despite the share I receive,
That I tell them I share with you in praise.

4. And if, in your munificence, you exceed me with them,
My recompense will be the growth of my glory.

5. For whom shall I give abundant thanks after you?
Or whom shall I make my priority in supererogatory prayers after me?

6. I have said what will strengthen hope when heard,
And the seeker of success will be safe from the disappointment of the toiler,

7. Had you not made promises, you would not forget your share of eminence,
So how will you neglect your pledge of generosity?
