منية المريد (The Desire of the Aspirant — Timbuktu Sufi MS, 1780)

Never has Hawa Eve brought forth from the refined women, in all the time that has passed,
Anyone like the mother of Ahmad al-Tijani, A'isha, the sharp-witted.
And the Al-Awamiya are a source of pride, as they are related to our master, the leader of the great.
Aside from those who are righteous with the Chosen One, his party, and his virtuous servants.
Since she gave birth to him, of high integrity, refined, glorified, and mastered.
He grew in knowledge, and the natural upbringing, and the scientific and religious upbringing.
Muhammad, the son of the chosen youth, the son of the contented, Hamda the chosen.
The son of the glorified one, the scholar saint, our master Muhammad Bar Salim.
A fortress of pride for the scholars, the best son of Bukayr; what unique pride was witnessed!
God caused him to grow a good growth, in the most comfortable of lives and the lights of splendor.
An ornament of knowledge for his tongue, and a successor and successor in creation among the people.
