هذا مَقامُ السيِّدِ العَلَمِ الذي

وَرِثَ الكمالَ عن الأميرِ السيِّدِ

This is the abode of the lord, the learned scholar

Who inherited perfection from the noble lord

نسْلِ التَّقِيِّ الدِّينِ عُمدةِ قومِهِ

قاضِي البلادِ الصالحِ المُتعبِّدِ

The lineage of the pious, the religion's pillar

The righteous judge of the lands, the devout worshipper

قد كان للقُصَّادِ في أيَّامِهِ

رُكناً وللوُرَّادِ أعذَبَ مَورِدِ

In his days he was a pillar for the beggars

And the sweetest spring for the visitors

ولقَد ثَوى يوماً برَحمةِ رَبِّهِ

في قُبَّةٍ لاحتْ لنا كالمشهَدِ

One day he passed away by the mercy of his Lord

In a dome that shone for us like a shrine

صَلَّى مؤرِّخُها وبارَكَ قائلاً

حَيَّاكَ يا مَن زارَ قُبَّةَ أحمدِ

Its chronicler prayed and blessed it saying

Greetings to you who visits Ahmed's dome
