1. O knight of the two steeds, whose vastness encompasses them,
Beneath the darkness and beneath the shadow of the dust cloud,

2. He makes them both safe from his might and attack,
With ease, caution, and a triumphant victory,

3. So his light in his peace and strife,
Is the rescue of the defeated and the wealth of the destitute,

4. The clouds poured down but you were predestined,
To set their times and your call was not preordained,

5. And you continued to rain while it rained at times,
Not like the rain that gives life to the countries you rain upon,

6. And when its lightning bolts lied to the detractors,
You were the truthful bringer of good news to the needy,

7. The embers die down from the blazes yet your guidance,
Does not forsake the steps of the confused enlightened one,

8. The coward cannot seek refuge in you with his,
Fox skin armor or the brave with forgiveness,

9. Your struggle is lamented by a writer and troops,
Between the banned and the expelled,

10. With audacious ones rushing to pierce,
Above the saddles and a pouring rainfall,

11. Until when the tremor cast your condition,
It let flow from the veins a red, pure, hot stream,

12. So the two witnesses to what you reached of highness,
Were the surface of the desert at dawn and the page of the book,

13. Thus you remained, O crown of kings, for the refuge seeker,
A staunch protector and a pouring rain,

14. Withdrawal was about to fade through his essence,
But you preserved him with unblemished generosity,

15. And the horizon of affairs was murky so you poured on it,
From your comfort a heavy pouring rain,

16. The majesty of authority was stooped by the frost of eminence,
And the burden though it was not for that cumbersome,

17. A silence you grant eloquence to argue for,
And wisdom for the observing wise one,

18. You did not make the visitors despair or leave,
The saddlebags in your absence or presence,

19. If the meaning of Ja'far is a river in which,
The thirsty are satiated then you are the river of abundance.
