You are the Beloved, the Greatest,

From whose grace the universe sings.

You are the shining lamp,

And the night is dark and gloomy without you.

For those on the path to contentment,

You are the most perfect guide.

And for everyone in distress,

To you, they find peace.

O son of Al-Amine Shadily,

You are the generous, the most generous.

Abdeljalil, the knower of Allah,

Always gracious in his demeanor.

You remain for me a steadfast support,

While challenges around me ignite.

I beseech you, O noble son,

Rise, O honorable ones, and aid!

In every hardship we face,

You are the support.

Then, blessings upon the Prophet,

Upon him, then, be peace.  (A poem by: Sidi Youssef Konate, Al-Qadiri Al-Maskani)
