1. Behold, everything save your Lord shall pass away,

    and all save the Everlasting is the intimate companion of extinction.

  2. Have you not seen this grave? It has enfolded a pearl

    that, in beauty, came to scorn heaven’s full moon.

  3. A caller from Paradise summoned him, and he answered;

    and swiftly he journeyed toward the Abode of Eternity.

  4. And since he was ʿIzz al-Dīn, his resting place was—

    as its chronogram has it—“He consoled the heart of contentment.”
