    وَاِتْلُ شَيئاً مِنَ الكَلامِ القديمِ

    Stand at this tomb, then pray for mercy.

    And recite something from the eternal Word.

    Within it lies a martyr among the righteous.

    He died by stabbing and yielded in submission.

    Mustafa al-Ghandur, heir to the glory of noble men,

    who were showered with favor, the Merciful's favor.

    وَسَرى عِندَ ذا بِقَلبٍ سَليمِ

    Since God called him toward gardens,

    and he journeyed then by night with a sound heart,

  5. فازَ في دارِ الخُلدِ أرّختُ سَبقاً

    وَمَقرّاً في جَنّةٍ وَنَعيمِ

    and a dwelling in a garden and bliss.
