 Diwan. referred to above. 1 



Translation. 



(A) 



Allah, O Fattah (Opener). Allah, O Fattah, Allah. 

 Thereis no God but Allah. Muhammad is the Vicegerent 



of Allah : In truth. 

 Verilv Bahrain was the Saint of the world (i.e. the Saint 



of world-wide renown) 

 Whose heart, in the true knowledge, was like the Ocean. 

 He went away from the world, on his way to Ceylon. 

 Bahram, the wise, quitted this transitory realm. 

 When the calculation of the year of that unique one's 



death 



1 desired from God, Fat-hl, 



A voice said that the date of his death 



Is our Darvish Bahram Saqqa* (970 H. = 1562-(vi a.d.). 



(B)

Without excuse and deceit 

 Was learned in the Sciences, religious and temporal,
