أَبا جَعفرٍ هَل فَضَضتَ الصَدف

وَهَل إِذ رَمَيتَ أَصَبتَ الهَدف

O Abu Ja'far, have you broken the pearl shells

And when you cast, did you hit the target?

وَهَل جُبتَ لَيلاً بِلا حِشمَةٍ

لِطُولِ السُرى سُدَفاً في سُدَف

And did you spend a night immodestly

Due to the length of the journey, tents within tents?
