1. O Abu Ja'far, O son of generous people
A need has appeared, and the free man seeks refuge with the free
١. أَبا جَعفَرٍ يا بنَ الجَحاجِحَةِ الغُرِّ
بَدَت حاجَةٌ وَالحُرُّ يَأوي إِلى الحُرِّ
2. Yesterday you clothed me with your favor
So could you do the same again today?
٢. وَقَد لَبِسَتني مِنكَ بِالأَمسِ نِعمَةٌ
فَهَل لَكَ في أُخرى عَوانِ إِلى بِكرِ
3. Whether it happens or not,
You have my thanks or my excuse
٣. عَلى أَنَّهُ إِن أَمكَنَت أَو تَعَذَّرَت
فَإِنَّكَ بَينَ الشُكرِ مِنّي وَالعُذرِ
