1. A trusted friend
Who has always been loyal
١. وصَديقٍ مُصَدَّقٍ
لم يزَل قطُّ مُخلِصا
2. Spoke of Ja'far ibn Mughira
In brief words
٢. قالَ عن جَعفرِ بن مُغ
نِم قَولاً مُلَخَّصا
3. He has always been pure
Until he became dedicated
٣. إنَّه لَم يزَل يُصا
فِحُ حتَّى تَخصَّصا
4. And told me that he
Swallows pebbles and date pits
٤. وحَكى لي بأنَّه
يَبلَعُ الأيرَ والخُصى
