1. I traveled to my people to call most of them
To a matter of firm resolve, refined by the mosques,

2. So they fulfill what they had pledged
In fear of me while God hears and watches,

3. And kinship is joined and the troubled finds relief,
And the old affection returns to the penitent,

4. So convey it through all the quarters of Uthman
And to Aws - so convey what I am doing -

5. I will call on them with all my strength for righteousness and piety
And the way of high morals, however many blame me,

6. So be altogether, as much as you can, for
A garment from God will clothe you, ample and wide,

7. And rise, then heal your people, and gather them together,
And be a hand that builds glory and wards off attacks,

8. For if you do not do as I instructed you,
Then keep to it - oaths are trusts -

9. Far apart are those who pledge then honor their vow
And those who break firm covenants and cast them off,

10. To you, Abu Nasr, my advice is sincere
My mount conveys it from me, head bowed,

11. So honor what you pledged in fear at Mina,
Abu Nasr, when ways are closed to you,

12. For we are the clan of elders, as you know,
We sacrifice ourselves and fend off attacks,

13. And we defend the fearful frontier, its place,
So distress may be relieved or the hungry fed.
