1. O you of refined and lofty words, O father
Of seniority that strives with righteous deeds

2. Al-Mukhtar of indolence has come upon you and buried it
Away from the adornment of the pretentious boaster

3. A man upon whom the words of mankind
Have shown favor, from the diversity of his talents

4. He has devoted his care solely to knowledge, so wonder at him
As a unique one in the collective of deeds

5. He has parted from hopes, like a player parting
In a collective of worship and hopes

6. I charged you with greeting him with veneration
In case you encounter the chosen one for the mission
