عَلِيُّ بْنُ دَاوُدٍ عَلِيٌّ مَقَامُهُ

وَفِي الزُّهْدِ فِي الْفَانِي بَعِيدٌ مَرَامُهُ

Ali bin Dawood is an eminent man

Ali ibn Dawud, exalted is his station,

And in asceticism from the ephemeral he is far removed

And in renouncing the ephemeral world, far-reaching is his aim.

إِذَا زَارَهُ مَنْ زَارَهُ الْحُبُّ حُبُّهُ

سَقَاهُ بِكَأْسٍ قَدْ يَدُومُ مُدَامُهُ

When one who loves him comes to visit

Whenever a visitor comes to him, his affection is pure love,

He offers a cup whose drink is lasting

He pours for him from a cup whose wine endures forever.
