When you defeated the Merkits so severely at Buker Gehreh, you gave me none of the booty; yet shortly after, when you were hard pressed by the Naimans, I sent four of my best generals to your assistance, who restored you the plunder that had been taken from you. Here is the fourth good office.
The latter, through the influence of Temudjin, once more regained his throne, and the following year he headed an expedition on his own account against the Merkits, and beat them at a place named Buker Gehesh, but he did not reciprocate the generosity of his ally. In 1199 the two friends made a joint expedition against the Naimans.
Next him came Wise Abu Buker, of unblemished name; Then Omer taught the faith, unknown to guile, And made the world with vernal freshness smile; Then Othmán brave th' imperial priesthood graced; All, led by him, the Prophet's faith embraced. The fourth was Alí; he, the spouse adored Of Fatima, then spread the saving word. Alí, of whom Mahommed spoke elate, "I am the city of knowledge he my gate."
