1. Tell the pilgrims, and those whose homes
Are by the two mosques, the words of the wise scholar:

2. This is advice from a loyal brother,
The essence of affection - he has neither deceived nor betrayed.

3. Dismantle the shelters and leave Sa'di intoxicated,
And replace your horses with ships.

4. For a large army has come to you,
A huge throng of warriors in the guise of a handsome man.

5. Abu Muhannad is an Indian, I believe,
Who sails the ocean generously and graciously.

6. The deadly warrior with the brave spear, when
The wolves and foxes vie for the milk.

7. The abundance of virtues in times of scarcity and plenty
The essence of faith in private and in public.
