1. The executioner of fate with his famous sword
Has wronged the obscure and famous alike

2. And how many arrows of his have hit their mark
That would melt the hearts of friends and foes

3. He assaults us relentlessly every day
With weeping that cannot extinguish the burning anguish

4. Neither the weak nor the strong are spared
From the horror of his predestined blow

5. Every creature has an appointed end
Be it soon or late without delay

6. Curse this world whose raids
Are endless and deceive us with delusion

7. If it laughs, it makes you weep and if peaceful
It betrays and does not cease destroying

8. No one who lived long in it gained anything
So disavow your life, it is the abode of falsehood

9. To feel safe in it is fear and its comfort is hardship
And tranquility in it turns hair gray with turmoil

10. Why then aspire to live on when already
The Shaykh of piety has left his pulpit and bed

11. Al-Jawhari Muhammad ibn Muhammad
An ocean of generosity, bountiful and abundant

12. With knowledge, glory, intelligence, caution
Resolve, management, wisdom

13. Noble lineage and all that distinguishes
Every important man

14. You were honored with a guide and caliph
For Shadhili, the enlightened pole

15. And exalted by reviving the glories of your grandfather
Famed for his resolve in battle

16. Your grandfather was the sword of God, the eternal Khaled
With his steadfastness, all hardship was humbled

17. He dominated those who strayed from the religion of guidance
And cast them away with his flashing sword

18. He humiliated those who rebelled and empowered those who
Obeyed the best Messenger

19. This scion followed his example, so his
Praiseworthy efforts made him joyful

20. He attained success and ruled with determination
Accompanied by glory and esteem

21. And he surpassed his own father
In knowledge, precedence and literary skill

22. He gained distinction in the world with virtues
That gave him special favor and delight

23. O Shaykh whose good deeds
Are beyond reckoning and enumeration

24. The gardens are adorned for you, so rejoice
And live in pleasure and rapture

25. And attain the utmost you seek, gratified
By your rewarded, beautiful end

26. Upon you is the approval of the Guardian as long as
You glorify God with prayers and declaration of His greatness

27. Or my eulogy records you saying
Congratulations, jewel of Jawhari, for the maiden houri
