1. O you who ask me what I may tell

    of Ja‘far—of his generosity and noble traits:

  2. Indeed, Ja‘far, son of Yahya, is a man

    with generosity blended into his flesh and blood.

  3. For him, “No” is forever forbidden;

    his speech is an endowment devoted to his “Yes.”

  4. And you see the race to overtake him

    at a place level with the sandal of his foot.
