سَقى صبب الرضوان قَبراً حَوى التُقى

سَقى صبب الرضوان قَبراً حَوى التُقى

كَما قَد سَقَتهُ بِالدُموع النَواظرُ

كَما قَد سَقَتهُ بِالدُموع النَواظرُ

May the downpour of divine favor water a grave that held piety,

The stream of bounty waters a grave containing piety

As eyes have already watered it with tears.

As the eyes had watered it with tears

بِهِ حُسن بَحر المَكارم وَالعُلى

بِهِ حُسن بَحر المَكارم وَالعُلى

وَمَن دعي العطّار وَالذكر عاطرُ

وَمَن دعي العطّار وَالذكر عاطرُ

Within it lies Hasan, a sea of noble virtues and eminence,

In it is the beauty of the sea of generosity and nobility

And he who was called al-Attar, whose memory is fragrant.

And the one called the perfumer and the fragrant mention

فَتى كانَ مِمَّن حازَ حُسن سَريرة

فَتى كانَ مِمَّن حازَ حُسن سَريرة

بِها اللَه يرضى يَوم تُبلى السَرائرُ

بِها اللَه يرضى يَوم تُبلى السَرائرُ

A youth who was among those who possessed goodness of heart,

A young man who had attained the excellence of innermost thought

Which pleases God on the day when inner secrets are tested.

With which Allah is pleased on the day when secrets are tested

فَلمّا دَعاهُ اللَه دَعوَة راحِمٍ

فَلمّا دَعاهُ اللَه دَعوَة راحِمٍ

لِدار بِها يَلتَذّ سَمع وَناظرُ

لِدار بِها يَلتَذّ سَمع وَناظرُ

So when God summoned him with a merciful summons,

So when Allah called him with a merciful call

To an abode where ear and eye find delight,

To an abode in which the hearing and seeing delight

أَتى ساحَةَ الرَحمَن بِالعَفو طامِعاً

أَتى ساحَةَ الرَحمَن بِالعَفو طامِعاً

فَبُشرى لَهُ مَولاه أرّخت غافرُ

فَبُشرى لَهُ مَولاه أرّخت غافرُ

He came to the court of the Most Merciful, hoping for pardon.

He came to the field of the Merciful hopeful of pardon

So glad tidings to him: his Lord is forgiving—thus I marked the date.

Good tidings to him, his Lord spread pardoning
