1. يا بشر يَاِبن الجَعفَرِيَّة ما

    خَلق الاله يَدَيك لِلبُخل

    O Bishr, O son of the Ja‘fari woman, never

    did God create your hands for stinginess.

  2. جاءَت بِهِ عُجُز مُقابِلَةً

    ما هُن من جرم وَلا عَكل

    Old women of noble descent on both sides bore him;

    they are neither of Jarm nor of ‘Akl.
