1. Is it an eclipse that has fallen from a sky,
Or is it a sunset whose evening is darkened?

2. Or is it an Arabian flood that has extinguished and covered places,
So it is a devastating, violent flood?

3. Or is it that the masters, the guides of righteousness,
One of them has died, a noble Sheikh?

4. So why has the day turned into darkness,
And why does the earth quake with tremors?

5. And why are our hearts separated and frightened,
Flying, and not forsaking their trembling?

6. And why is the sweetness in mouths bitter,
And the tears of the eyes have no eyelids?

7. Tell me, for this is a terrible matter,
Its occurrence is fearful and frightening.

8. Yes, you have lost the one who cries for the world wandering,
He says: Alas! For whomever virtuous men have died,

9. Then misfortunes, calamities and adversities follow.
We have all tasted them, accompanied by sorrows and sufferings,

10. Due to the death of the knowledgeable saint, the master and guardian,
The one who has educated people of all types of knowledge.

11. To miss the venerable scholar, the perfect mourner,
So know, o friend!

12. When I heard that the beloved of my heart,
His sun was eclipsed by death,

13. It pained me greatly and I was confounded by anguish,
Calling “O Most Merciful, O Most Kind!”

14. And my heart became fragmented like bones,
And bones in interpretation mean wool,

15. I remained in the state I was afflicted with, as if
I was sick since I was created, so feeble.

16. Sleep has abandoned my eyelids,
And beds have abandoned my weak, thin body.

17. And months before I was depressed,
And saddened, so the ignorant rebuked me.

18. My heart, do not ask, when it is afflicted,
By his most sorrowful and woeful heart.

19. Due to the death of the virtuous Sheikh, the Master,
And he is indeed the most noble.

20. Abu Al-Haddad Al-Eidaroosi,
He is the famous, the encompassing sea.

21. And before them Al-Shahab died, so it was
A shooting star whose flame is intense.

22. I meant Al-Hindi Al-Sayyid Ahmad,
Whose nobility over Al-Jawzi is clear.

23. The sorrows have accumulated in my heart,
And my body is too weak to bear them.

24. So the second one is a successor to the first,
And the third is a successor to the second.

25. The three supported the path of righteousness,
They are its heroes and they are the swords.

26. The three befriended worship,
With a fasting that the empty stomachs expose.

27. The three adhered to the spiritual path,
Even when it was miserly and poverty appeared.

28. The great ones in truth witnessed it,
And the angels surrounded them.

29. They are leaders who were guided and guided others,
And they are vessels of knowledge.

30. They had ambitions through which they reached and attained,
They had generosity through which the weak became strong.

31. With money they combine knowledge and piety,
Yes, they donate blessings.

32. They have the nature of generosity and uprightness,
Through this generosity they have done no injustice.

33. O Abu Al-Haddad, after you none can heal
My crying and the tears pouring down.

34. Being apart from you has fragmented my being,
So my body is broken from it.

35. My beloved, from you I used to sense something
Through which souls come alive and noses enjoy.

36. Due to losing you, intellects have been turbulent,
Seeking to come out, calling for their departure.

37. To ransom you with my soul, if it is said who will sacrifice,
Along with accumulated money which will follow.

38. You have left us thirsty, confused,
With needs in ourselves that wander.

39. You never truly disappeared from my heart,
And my soul has no aversion to you.

40. Your writings wept, and the whole world,
Both winter and spring, summer and autumn.

41. Because you are its rain, its nourishment, and the one
Who, with you, has freshened its face, cleansed it.

42. O most virtuous one, you were a treasure,
Buried, so you are a dear treasure.

43. And your soul has been sanctified, it is in the gardens of heaven,
Enjoying and wandering its grounds.

44. It sees what it sees of the Giver’s gifts,
For the elite who lived purely and in wool.

45. A station that imagination has never reached,
And that the wise philosopher has not seen.

46. And in Dhul Qaada, the holy month, you moved on,
At such a blessed time.

47. Until intents weakened before religion,
Understood by the most virtuous.

48. O Abu Hasan, around your house the people
All stand waiting for you.

49. For them you were the best supporter,
And you cared for them and checked on them.

50. In Surat you were a light, but rather a strong
Impenetrable fortress, not approached by afflictions.

51. And your secret throughout all India spread,
And through its land abundant good multiplied.

52. And the discordant matters, through your status,
Of true love, have been resolved, o pure one!

53. Yes, the people of India, ruled by
The sharpened swords of God, polished and intense.

54. They are the pillars in the dark nights of winter,
For the fasters, though the heat of summer burns.

55. They enjoin good and piety,
And forbid evil, strong and firm.

56. And each one of them is a Sheikh, an Imam,
A saint, an adherent, a scholarly jurist.

57. Pleased and pleasing, a shining light,
Generous, benefactor, righteous and kind.

58. Their words at all times are pure gold,
Untainted by impurities.

59. For the masters of will and delegation,
At their doors always bowing.

60. How many seas they sailed and endured,
Though frightening and terrifying.

61. And how many high lands they crossed,
With steps heavy in travel or climbing.

62. I long for them, I thirst for what
They have bestowed and the Kind has apportioned.

63. Whenever they allow the devotee to draw near in purity and wool,
And there is no stopping from attaining the goal.

64. Then where can one who seeks the path go today,
And at whose house do guests reside?

65. When the devotee comes seeking a drink,
But is turned away, and his heart is thirsty.

66. By my life, it is a great flaw in the religion,
By my life, it pierces the heart with its sting.

67. It has shattered the minds, though
The foolish mind cannot be guided to it.

68. Beware! That the heavens and earth weep over them,
As do mosques and rows of worshippers.

69. For they are pillars holding up the foundations,
And pillars of the house of faith, supporting its ceiling.

70. Whenever the righteous are mentioned, talk of them,
For their station in it is lofty.

71. Their virtues are brimming oceans,
Endless, having no shore or coast.

72. I cannot try to enumerate them,
Impossible! Words cannot contain them.

73. And my counting is like cups in an ocean,
Can it reach the ocean through cups?

74. Upon the souls and spirits because of them,
And the one who has ignited the light of servitude.

75. And the pleasure, fragrance and wine
Of the spirit around its Nurturer wandering.

76. It was quenched by the pouring of the Almighty, the Passionate,
The Noble, Benefactor, Generous, All-encompassing.

77. Through it, gardens have grown lush,
Their flowers competing, and fruits plenty.

78. And they do not need its growth, for
Their resting places have ignited lights.

79. And how many comely houries wearing gowns
March them, being their brides.

80. In the Abode of Eternity and boys attending them,
Singing and drums beating for them.

81. There is joy at their arrival,
For they are the maids and servers.

82. And how much hidden delights for their eyes
Beyond any descriptions.

83. Glorified is He whose rulings
All run with justice, no injustice.

84. He decreed what He willed, and He obligated acceptance
Of the decree, and Allah cares for the pleased.

85. And we ask our Lord for good solace
With great reward, when one dear is lost.

86. For all their branches, families, and the one
Passionate in loving them, ardent.

87. May their Lord protect them from all evil,
For this world is not eternal.

88. And I hope that our noble masters,
Succeed them, for they are kind and compassionate.

89. Beneficial, guide, caring, bright,
Righteous, knowledgeable, devout and fearful.

90. He will mend the breaking hearts through them,
By the succession of that which shatters them.

91. Why not? For righteousness emanates from them,
And whatever they pledge in covenant they fulfill.

92. The light of truth shines upon them,
And every heart purely passionate toward them.

93. They are branches of that protective tree,
And on the branches hang its fruits.

94. May God pour down blessings
Upon us all, for He is the Lord Most Generous.

95. We have beseeched through them that if any
Difficult matter afflicts, lighten it.

96. And the people of virtue are treasures for the hopeful,
And fortresses and caves for the refugee.

97. A thousand prayers have connected to a thousand
Greetings and pure praise in multitudes.

98. Upon the highest of creation in nobility and status,
The prophet whose religion is upright.

99. Then upon his family, companions and all
The scholars and the righteous, eminent.

100. Through them may our deeds be sealed with good,
Without fear, when people are frightened.
