عَرِّجْ عَلَى قَبْرِ

قَدْ حُفَّ بِالسِّرِّ

Stop by a grave

enveloped in spiritual mystery,

لِفَا ضِلٍ بَرِّ

مَحْضِ السَّنَا الشَّرَّاطْ

belonging to a virtuous, pious man,

pure in his radiance, al-Sharrat.

إِنَّ الرِّضَى مَسْعُودْ

مُذْ طَلَّقَ الْمَفْقُودْ

Truly, the contented soul is blessed,

since he divorced the perishable,

مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الْمَوْجُودْ

بَاهِتْ بِهِ الأَشْرَاطْ

from the transient blossoms of this existence;

the nobles pale beside him.

فِي خِدْمَةِ الْمَوْلَى

شَرَابُهُ احْلَوْلَى

In the service of the Lord,

his drink became sweet;

فَطَابَ فَا سْتَعْلَى

بِهِ عَلَى الأَوْسَاطْ

so he grew pure and ascended,

rising above the ordinary ranks.

فَاهْنَأْ أَبَا سِرْحَانْ

بِحِكْمَةِ الرَّحْمَانْ

So rejoice, O Abu Sirhan,

in the wisdom of the Merciful;

فَاخِرْ بِهَا لُقْمَانْ

وَاصْعَدْ عَلَى بُقْرَاطْ

boast of it to Luqman,

and rise above Hippocrates.

وَلَبِّ مَنْ نَادَاكْ

بِمُمْطِرِ جَدْوَاكْ

And answer the one who calls upon you

with the showering rain of your generosity,

وَحُلَّ فِي مَعْنَاكْ

وَالْغَمُّ فِي إِفْرَاطْ

and abide in your inner essence,

while sorrow is in excess.

يَا رَبِّ يَا مَوْلاَيْ

يَا سَامِعاً نَجْوَايْ

O Lord, O my Master,

O Hearer of my secret prayers,

فَالصَّبْرُ مِنْ شَكْوَايْ

مُعَفَّنُ الأَخْلاَطْ

for patience, due to my lamentation,

suffers from putrefied humors.

وَالْكَرْبُ يَا رَبِّي

غَطَّى سَنَا لُبِّي

And the anguish, O my Lord,

has veiled the light of my mind,

وَعَاثَ فِي الْقَلْبِ

مِنَ الْجَوَى مِخْرَاطْ

and wreaking havoc within the heart

is a lathe of burning grief.

اُنْظُرْ مِنَ الْوَطْوَاطْ

بِحُرْمَةِ الشَّرَّاطْ

Consider the plea from al-Watwat,

by the sanctity of al-Sharrat,

وَكُلِّ ذِي أَشْرَاطْ

مِنْ سَالِفِ الأَفْرَاطْ

and of every possessor of noble traits,

among the predecessors who have passed before.

وَخَيْرِخَلْقِ اللهْ

ذُخْرِي رَسُولِ اللهِ

And by the best of God's creation,

my treasure, the Messenger of God;

صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ اللهْ

وَالآلِ وَالأَسْبَاطْ

may God's blessings be upon him,

and upon his family and his grandsons.

وَجُمْلَةِ الأَصْحَابْ

مُزَلْزِلِي الأَحْزَابْ

And all of the Companions,

who shook the enemy factions,

وَمَنْ بَغَى وَارْتَابْ

مِنْ سَائِرِ الأَسْقَاطْ

and whoever transgressed and harbored doubt,

among all the fallen outcasts.
