1. Be safe, Abu al-Abbas, and live—

    —on; may God never make your shadow vanish.

  2. And be the one who lives for us

    forever, while we die before you.

  3. I have a need, for which I hope to gain

    your fullest beneficence and your favor.

  4. And glory requires of—

    —you its fulfillment; and a stipulation is most binding.

  5. For if I am spared its weighty burden,

    for such a need I have readied one like you.

Sol 5.6
