1. Tell those who hope for life, surely
In Ja'far there is a lesson, may he live long.

2. They were the two ministers of God's Caliph,
Look at who they were, his heirs.

3. So this is Ja'far with his honor,
His head shaved and half his hair.

4. And the elder minister Yahya, lo,
He removed himself and was exiled.

5. After being united, their group was scattered,
And they wandered through the lands, lost.

6. Thus whoever angers God with what
Satisfies the servant, God will punish him.

7. Glory to Him whom kings submit to.
I testify there is no god but Him.

8. Blessed is he who repents after his arrogance
And repents before death, blessed is he.
