1. For his virtue, he was the first one who
Prayed and believed in the Merciful when they disbelieved

2. For seven years and sacred days
With the Prophet, in fear, though they were unaware

3. And the day Gabriel told him, they now knew
Warn your closest tribe, if they see

4. So he called them, apart from his nation
None of them failed to respond

5. Among them, a glutton in a sitting ate greedily
And a drinker drank like a camel, on his deathbed

6. He distracted them from the sides of a satiated bowl
In which was a sa` of seeds atop the chaff

7. So he said, "O people, God has sent me
To you, so respond to God, and realize

8. Which of you will choose my words and believe in me
That I am a prophet and messenger?" and treacherous Ghadir arose

9. Saying, "Away! Do you call us to distract us
From our religion?" Then the people stood up and put on their robes

10. Who was it that said among them, though he was the youngest of them
In years and the best of them in memory when they wrote

11. "I believe in God, I have been given supererogation
That has not been given to any jinn or human

12. And that what you have said is truth, and they
If they do not respond, have betrayed and lost"

13. So he succeeded in attaining it, and God honored him
For he was the fore runner of goals when they competed
