لحدٌ توسدهُ فتىً

لحدٌ توسدهُ فتىً

كانت لهُ التقوى مناطق

كانت لهُ التقوى مناطق

A grave that a young man took for his pillow;

A young man whose pillow was piety

Piety was the girdles he wore.

And for the inhabitants of the Two Holy Mosques he was

ولساكني الحرمين كان

ولساكني الحرمين كان

الترجمان وخير ناطق

الترجمان وخير ناطق

And for the dwellers of the two holy sanctuaries he was

The interpreter and best spokesman

The interpreter and the finest speaker.

He met death content

لقي المنية راضياً

لقي المنية راضياً

بمواهب الغفار واثق

بمواهب الغفار واثق

He met death content,

With the gifts of the Forgiving, the Confident

Trusting in the gifts of the All-Forgiving.

And he spent his life obeying

وقضى الحيوة بطاعةٍ

وقضى الحيوة بطاعةٍ

ترضي الذي فطر الخلائق

ترضي الذي فطر الخلائق

And he spent his life in obedience

In a way that satisfies the One who created all beings

That pleases the One who created all creatures.

And so he passed on and a historian said

ومضى فقال مؤرخٌ

ومضى فقال مؤرخٌ

للجنة الدرويش صادق

للجنة الدرويش صادق

And he passed away; then a chronogram writer said:

To Paradise goes the truthful dervish

“The dervish Sadiq is bound for Paradise.”
