I came in order to visit Habib 'Id

and 'Id, and his son 'Abd al-Karim

And my visit is but for a matter

By which I attain success with the Ancient Meaning (al-Ma'na al-Qadim)

Sheikh 'Abd al-Latif Sa'ud Halabku said, praising Sheikh Habib Eid al-Salih:

I came to you, with abundant longing leading me

To you, and my intense love (Wajd) as my driver and guide

Hoping that the meeting is an allegiance (Wilayah)

Is not the beloved (Habib) of God the best intimate friend (Khalil)?

Sheikh Husayn Sa'ud Halabku said, praising Sheikh 'Id al-Salih and his sons:

Sons of 'Id, O sons of the best father

And O protectors of the sanctuary of knowledge and literature

You reached through your father the ultimate goal

Of gnostic sciences (Ma'arif), surpassing [other] people and lineage
