1. O Abu Ja'far, you are generous
Noble, eminent, most virtuous

2. You have accepted my praise with welcome
As a great leader would

3. She is a virgin brought to you as a bride
With a generous dowry from you

4. So pay promptly, for the best custom
Is one adorned with expedience

5. I see you intend to travel tomorrow
And I too intend to depart

6. So may your kindness be to answer
For I am, with fair praise, a guarantor
