1. Refuge of the drowning and treasure of the needy,
Khalaf son of Yahya Al-Tamimi Al-Baji.

2. The pillar and sanctuary - Abu Sa'id - of high rank,
In his decree, an ocean, tumultuous and stormy.

3. He is the rain cloud, pouring forth, when resolute,
Upon visitors, a torrent, copious and gushing.

4. The glorious drew from him in lifetime and in
This shrine, for whoever disaster befell.

5. The Imam Al-Shadhili said: I kept his company
And benefited from him, as he was like a shining lamp.

6. And Al-Hatimi and Al-Mahdawi among his companions -
The lion of fierceness and stars of the constellations.

7. Pride upon the brow of glorious stars on high,
And virtues like pearls atop a crown held high.

8. So come, O you whose patience, like mine, falls short,
And whom misfortunes made spend the night vexed and distraught.

9. Spread your palms and take of his blessings' store,
And gather, as they said, with a full and brimming measure.

10. O you clothed by God in grace - the hands fell short
Of the oil merchant and the clothing merchant.

11. This is your namesake and son of your prayer - you know -
So quickly remedy my problems with a cure.

12. My wings are broken and the torrents overwhelm,
If you do not mend my fractured state and make me whole.

13. Succor from the Guide, the Intercessor Muhammad,
Possessor of the Lofty Status on the Night Journey.

14. May God send blessings upon him, submitting,
And on his family, companions and wives.

15. And upon you, for as long as existence remains,
Are greetings covering your grave in pouring rain,

16. Enveloping your devoted servant in his words:
"Date it with 'By Abu Sa'id Al-Baji!'"
