1. The cycles of fate have led me
To the land of India, home of treasures

2. Yet I find no guide here towards righteousness
Nor one who commands good deeds

3. The people here only care for passion and play
In every gathering, you see them steeped in ignorance and sin

4. None forbid what is forbidden or evil
As they walk step by step in misguidance

5. Their only concerns are riches and wealth
Their days spent only counting ledgers

6. I fell into hardship and grief here
My state constricted and thoughts troubled

7. I found myself lost among the Indians
Wondering if there was a conversational companion

8. I saw a friendly face who guided me
To a spacious gathering place full of wonders

9. I entered to find men who were leaders
Their faces shining bright like brilliant stars

10. Among them an esteemed aged sheikh
Revered, answered, truly without equal

11. With him my crushing worries and sorrow ceased
Our wishes fulfilled from his overflowing spring

12. I speak of Ibrahim ibn Muhammad
Praiseworthy in nature, beautiful in essence

13. By God, a gentle, refined, well-mannered man
An elegant, judicious poet of virtue and command

14. Eloquent, articulate, generous and kind
With a bounty like pouring rainclouds

15. He aids every virtuous soul effortlessly
And exceeds every merchant in nobility

16. Many a sick soul who came to him as patients
Were cured, by the will of the Almighty, the Able

17. He has attained merits and sublimity, exceeding
All others of the past, present and timeless

18. Seek him, O you who desire deliverance
For the great ones have all hailed his gifts

19. O Lord, O God, let his blessings endure
That people may gain from his multiplying grace

20. Grant him in Heaven's eternal abode
A station with the Prophets, the exalted, the sublime

21. I present this to you, O son of nobility, a bride
Before whom the efforts of the ablest fall short
