لِلهِ تُرْبٌ لاَحَ مِثْلَ جِنَانِ

لِلهِ تُرْبٌ لاَحَ مِثْلَ جِنَانِ

يَزهُو بِنُورِ حُلاه كُلُّ جَنَانِ

يَزهُو بِنُورِ حُلاه كُلُّ جَنَانِ

How wondrous a tomb that shone like gardens!

To God belongs dust, no garden is like paradise

Every heart glows with the light of its adornments.

Every garden is radiant with the light of its beauty

فَإذا نظرْتَ إلى بَدَائِعِ صُنعِهِ

فَإذا نظرْتَ إلى بَدَائِعِ صُنعِهِ

يُغْنيك عن رَوضٍ وَعَن بُستَانِ

يُغْنيك عن رَوضٍ وَعَن بُستَانِ

And when you gaze upon the marvels of its workmanship,

So if you look at the wonders of His creation

It leaves you no need of a meadow or a garden.

It will suffice you instead of meadow and garden

أمسىكبيرُ الأنسِ فِي أرجائِهِ

أمسىكبيرُ الأنسِ فِي أرجائِهِ

من حولِهِ أضحى بِمَرّ زَمَانِ

من حولِهِ أضحى بِمَرّ زَمَانِ

Now greatly comforted within its precincts is

In its corners the great comforter at evening

Whoever came to be around it as time passed.

Around him has become bitter with the bounty of time

سَبِقَتْ إليه من المُهَيمِن رَحْمَة

سَبِقَتْ إليه من المُهَيمِن رَحْمَة

دَارَتْ عَلَى الأجسامِ كالأكْفانِ

دَارَتْ عَلَى الأجسامِ كالأكْفانِ

Mercy from the Guardian reached it beforehand;

Mercy from the Guardian reached him first

It encircled the bodies like shrouds.

It circulated upon bodies like shrouds

قَد أنشأ الباشا عَلِي بنُ مُحَمدِ

قَد أنشأ الباشا عَلِي بنُ مُحَمدِ

حال الحَيَاةِ التُّرْبَ للأبدَانِ

حال الحَيَاةِ التُّرْبَ للأبدَانِ

Pasha Ali ibn Muhammad built

The Pasha Ali bin Muhammad built it

During his lifetime, the tomb for bodies.

The condition of life made the dust for the bodies forever

مُذْ تَمَّ بعدَ وَفَاتِهِ أرَّخْتُهُ

مُذْ تَمَّ بعدَ وَفَاتِهِ أرَّخْتُهُ

بِالعِلمِ تُرْبٌ طَابَ وَالقُرْآن

بِالعِلمِ تُرْبٌ طَابَ وَالقُرْآن

When it was completed after his death, I dated it:

Since after his death I dated it

A tomb made pleasant by learning and the Qur’an.

With knowledge, blessed dust, and the Quran
