1. إِنّ هَذا القَبر قَد حَلَّ بِهِ

    أَحمدُ الاِسمِ وَضيفٌ لِلكَريمْ

    Indeed, within this grave there has come to dwell

    Ahmad by name, a guest of the Generous One.

  2. هُوَ عَبدُ العالِ للجنَّةِ قَد

    سارَ إِذْ ناداهُ ذو الفَضلِ العَميم

    He is ʿAbd al-ʿĀl; toward Paradise he has

    journeyed, when the One of all-embracing bounty called him.

  3. فَهوَ بِالرّضوانِ أَرّخ آنسٌ

    وَعَلَيهِ رَحمَةُ اللَّهِ الرَّحيم

    So, with “He is in divine favor,” mark the year—and take comfort.

    And upon him be the mercy of God, the All-Merciful.
