أَحياؤُنا لا يُرزَقونَ بِدِرهَمٍ

وَبِأَلفِ أَلفٍ تُرزَقُ الأَمواتُ

Our living ones are not sustained with a dirham

While the dead are sustained with thousands and thousands

مَن لي بِحَظِّ النائِمينَ بِحُفرَةٍ

قامَت عَلى أَحجارِها الصَلَواتُ

Who will grant me the fortune of those asleep in a grave

Upon which prayers have been established

يَسعى الأَنامُ لَها وَيَجري حَولَها

بَحرُ النُذورِ وَتُقرَأُ الآياتُ

People strive for it and circle around it

The sea of vows and verses are recited

وَيُقالُ هَذا القُطبُ بابُ المُصطَفى

وَوَسيلَةٌ تُقضى بِها الحاجاتُ

It is said this is the Pole, the Door of the Chosen One

An intermediary through which needs are fulfilled
