هَذَا ضَرِيحُ خَدِيِمأَهْلِ وَزَّانِ

أَعْيَانِ سَادَاتِنَا سَادَاتِ أَعْيَانِ

This is the tomb of the servant of the eminent people of Wazzan

This is the tomb of the servant of the people of Wazzan,

The elite of our masters, the elite of the eminent

The notables of our masters, the masters of notables.

عَلاَ بِهِمْ مُرْتَقىَ صَعْباً فَكَانَ لَهُ

إِذْ أَنْجَدُوهُ بِهِ شَانٌ مِنَ الشَّانِ

Through them he attained a difficult ascent, so he had

Through them he scaled a difficult ascent, and so attained,

When they supported him, a high standing

When they aided him upon it, a standing of great distinction.

بِهِمْ سَمَا وَبِصِدْقٍ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِمْ

فَالصِّدْقُ فِي حُبِّهِمْ مِعْرَاجُ إِحْسَانِ

Through them he reached the heights, and with sincerity in his love for them

By them he rose high, and by his sincere love for them,

For sincerity in loving them is the ascension of excellence

For sincerity in loving them is an ascension of spiritual excellence.

وَمَنْ يُجَرِّبْ يِقُرْبٍ يَمْتَحِنْ كَلِمِي

يَجِدْ مَقَالِي مَعْضُوداً بِبُرْهَانِ

And whoever tries the proximity and tests my words

And whoever tests this intimately, examining my words,

Will find my saying supported with proof

Will find my statement bolstered by clear proof.

فيِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَ الأَلْفِ مَعْ مِائَةٍ

مَضَى سَرِيعاً إِلَى رَوْحٍ وَرَيْحَانِ

In fifteen hundred and eleven he quickly passed

In the year fifteen, after one thousand and one hundred,

To spirit and gardens of bliss

He departed swiftly to joyous rest and sweet fragrance.

مَا زَالَ يَقْبِسُ أَنْوَاراً لَهُمْ سَطَعَتْ

حَتَّى تَوَى غَيْرَ مَلْمُوزٍ بِنُقْصَانِ

He kept drawing lights that shone for them

He never ceased to draw from their lights that brightly shone,

Until he passed away complete, with no deficiency

Until he passed away, untainted by any flaw or deficiency.
