1. Stand still! For this is the station of Abraham.
And a sweet-scented breeze blew from the sandalwood trees.

2. Head towards the gardens of remembrance and enter hopefully,
To a sanctuary enduring throughout time.

3. In it lies the summit of knowledge and its ocean -
The master of Tunis, its concealed pillar.

4. This is Abu Ishaq, the best clothed
In robes of praise and its embroidered pearls.

5. This is al-Rayyahi, the pole of our country.
None surpassed his glory generally.

6. This is the lamp of gnostics of their Lord.
How much he guided and benefited a heedless people!

7. His virtues filled the East and West,
When he strove for them both and warded off their worries.

8. Like his coming to Fez to bring goodness
In a year of drought that destroyed the grafted.

9. So its sultan honored him and granted him
Blessing, prosperity, and ample gifts.

10. And from its sacred corner, its oratories -
Namely at-Tijani, its concealed pole -

11. He gained favor and esteem, and was distinguished
With subtleties deserving precedence.

12. And the plan of the young conqueror came to him,
Through which it gained pride that is difficult to equal.

13. He crossed Egypt in the year of Pilgrimage, so its sultan
Honored him and bestowed gifts upon him generously.

14. When Constantinople was in dire straits,
Were it not for his intercession, it would have been miserable.

15. So the sultan rewarded him beyond his request
And he gained fame and disseminated knowledge through it.

16. The East and West realized that he
Had become an equal to the Light of the Two Luminaries.

17. Then he built this station for his Lord,
And to mention the one who granted him bliss in it.

18. And in it lived his children, whom
The army of ignorance had become defeated by.

19. They adorned the pulpits and gatherings as youths
And became full moons in ascendance and stars.

20. The good, content Muhammad
And Ali, the content one, vast in majesty.

21. Their covenant gives drink to devotees with clouds
Of mercy, and increases their submission.

22. O you who seek intimacy, pursuer of guidance,
And one who seeks honor from his Lord!

23. Aim for the three of them, and the sheikh of their path.
Ask God, Forgiving and Merciful,

24. And devote your prayers to them and through them, hopeful
Of attaining your wishes and extending to all.

25. And for whoever rests his burdens in this ground,
Or helped and composed the inscribed.

26. And ask God for whoever robed it in what you see,
Illuminating and perfecting it completely.

27. As-Sādiq al-Bashā al-Mushīr Muhammad,
The most brilliant of kings, most generous of hosts.

28. Victory, prosperity, and might whenever
Spring sends its breezes to the gardens.

29. And look to the date of the station, for it
Is a house of precious, well-composed pearls.

30. O you who hopes at its door, be secure!
Stand still! For this is the station of Abraham.
