1. هَذا ضَريح النَقشبندي الَّذي

    هُوَ في التُقى بَينَ البَرية أَوحَدُ

    This is the tomb of al-Naqshbandi, who

    is peerless in piety among humankind.

  2. وَهُوَ الَّذي وَرث السَماحة وَالعُلا

    عَمَّن إِلَيهِ كُل فَضلٍ يُسنَد

    And he is the one who inherited generosity and eminence

    from him to whom every virtue is ascribed.

  3. تاقت إِلى جَنات عَدنٍ نَفسه

    فَسَعى إِلى مَولاه وَهوَ مُوَحّد

    His soul yearned for the Gardens of Eden,

    so he hastened to his Lord, affirming His oneness.

  4. وَاِختارَهُ العَباس عَم المُصطَفى

    جاراً بقبته فَطاب المرقد

    And al-Abbas, the Chosen One’s paternal uncle, chose him

    as a neighbor at his domed shrine, so the resting place grew sweet.

  5. وَالحُور في سلخ المحرّم أَرّخت

    لِلبَدر عَباس أَضاء مُحَمد

    And the houris, on Muharram’s last day, recorded the date:

    “For Abbas, the full moon, Muhammad shone.”
