ما يَعْجَبُ العَالَمُ من جَعْفَرٍ

ما يَعْجَبُ العَالَمُ من جَعْفَرٍ

ما عاينوهُ فَبِنا كانا

ما عاينوهُ فَبِنا كانا

Why does the world marvel at Jaʿfar?

Whatever they witnessed came to be through us.

مَنْ جَعْفَرٌ أو من أَبوهُ ومَنْ

مَنْ جَعْفَرٌ أو من أَبوهُ ومَنْ

كانَتْ بنو بَرْمَكٍ لولانا

كانَتْ بنو بَرْمَكٍ لولانا

Who is Jaʿfar, or who is his father, and who

Would the sons of Barmak have been without us?
