1. Jacob son of David shall be summoned, disappointed
A book revealing between the eyes of the unbeliever

2. His betrayal of al-Mahdi destroyed his reputation
Thus he became like one whom graves have hidden

3. To al-Mahdi you appeared like the dawn, shining
From the deceit that consciences were conceiving

4. Can the dawn's whiteness, if its glow appears
Drive away the darkness of night's veil?

5. A position above that which you had attained
You pursued, but did not succeed in what you feared
