1. Pause and reflect on what the owner of this tomb achieved with virtue,
And how he inclined the two worlds towards clemency.

2. If you but knew who lies in this grave,
You would shake off the world from your hands in passionate desire.

3. He folded up the high standard of glory, unassailable,
And so his lofty virtues became as a barren plain.

4. The intrepid leader of the elite, who was a pillar
Of support for the family of Hussein, in competence and loyalty.

5. He established the praiseworthy endeavor in serving their kingdom
For thirty years as their minister, walking the straight path.

6. And he offered the people of the land extensive clemency and attainment,
With worldly affairs well-managed, and the hereafter a protective cloak.

7. And when God called him, he came obediently,
At a time when neither avarice argued nor harshness resisted.

8. He had good expectations of his Master, though indeed
He was granted less than he expected, out of kindness.

9. O you who visit this tomb and befriend
His brothers in religion with an embracing fellowship!

10. When you scent the perfume of this grave,
Make sure to bless him sincerely with your prayer.

11. Joy and spirit have perfumed a garden containing you,
Watered by grace, carefully tended.

12. You lived praiseworthy and came recorded in history,
With Paradise as your home, like your name, "the Chosen One."
