1. O you who wish to be a gallant youth
Like the son of Layla, the paths are left open for you

2. If you journey to where Jesus went on his quests
He will have mercy on you though you do less than he has done

3. If you went among people, the furthest and the nearest
In the most remote parts of earth where they graze camels

4. You would not find, across the face of the earth, a youth
Like the one they buried deep inside it, that valiant man

5. Count three virtues recognized in him
Did he insult anyone, or was he insulted, or was he stingy?
