زِيارَةُ آلِ الشّيخِ سَعدِ أبيهِ

زِيارَةُ آلِ الشّيخِ سَعدِ أبيهِ

هِيَ الغُنمُ مَن فَاتَتهُ غَيرُ نَبِيهِ

هِيَ الغُنمُ مَن فَاتَتهُ غَيرُ نَبِيهِ

A visit to the family of Sheikh Saad Abih

Visiting the family of Sheikh Saad's father

Is gain; whoever misses it lacks discernment.

Is the sheep that was missed by others than its shepherd

وَسَائِلُ لِلمَولَى أفَاضِلُ في المَلاَ

وَسَائِلُ لِلمَولَى أفَاضِلُ في المَلاَ

هُداةٌ لِبَابِ الخَيرِ مُطلبِيهِ

هُداةٌ لِبَابِ الخَيرِ مُطلبِيهِ

They are means of approach to the Lord, eminent among the assembly,

Seekers of the Master, virtuous in gatherings

Guides to the gate of goodness for those who seek it.

Guides to the door of good, its pursuers

فَلَيسَ لَهُم في سَالِفِ الدَّهرِ مُشبِهٌ

فَلَيسَ لَهُم في سَالِفِ الدَّهرِ مُشبِهٌ

وبَاقِيهِ لاَ يَأتِى لُهُم بِشَبِيهِ

وبَاقِيهِ لاَ يَأتِى لُهُم بِشَبِيهِ

For they have no equal in ages past,

For them in the history of time there is no equal

And the rest of time will bring them no equal.

And none remaining will come to them as peer

ولِلشَّيخِ طَالِب بُوَى مَعدِنُ سِرِّهِم

ولِلشَّيخِ طَالِب بُوَى مَعدِنُ سِرِّهِم

ونُورُ سَنَاهُم لاَ مُنَازِعَ فِيهِ

ونُورُ سَنَاهُم لاَ مُنَازِعَ فِيهِ

And to Sheikh Talib Buwa belongs the mine of their secret,

And for Sheikh Talib there lies the essence of their secret

And the light of their radiance; none rivals him in this.

And the light of their art, none contests it

فأكرِم بِهِ مَهمَا أَطَلتَ بِهِ الثَّوَا

فأكرِم بِهِ مَهمَا أَطَلتَ بِهِ الثَّوَا

واكرِم وَإن طَالَ الثَّوَا بِبَنِيهِ

واكرِم وَإن طَالَ الثَّوَا بِبَنِيهِ

So how generous he is, however long you stay with him!

So honor through it whatever length the folds extend

And how generous his sons are, even if your stay is long!

And honor even if the folds extend through his sons
