1. O Abu Ishaq, may Allah protect you
And guard you from all harm and evil altogether

2. We have agitated you with rhymes, and in them
Are steps to the heights and passageways

3. Praise that is focused fades, while that which
Through poetry, lasts the ages, remains

4. Abu Ja'far is no man of weak resolve
Nor one who walks the path of hypocrisy

5. What he says rings true, while among them are those
Who lack all noble traits of character

6. If you remind him again, do not remind
One of frivolous words, frozen pages
