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

And the relief of our era, al-Qamasi, upon the pole of creation, our master Ali.
And others who attained sainthood from his companions and won by divine care.
And how many learned Imams, great scholars, with insight that reaches the depths through their understanding.
The passing of our Sheikh, the Imam, has arrived until he rose and won divine support.
Like the translator of knowledge and its branches, Ibn al-Masalik, the prominent scholar, the farewell.
And the Alawi, the scholar of Sanjid a location or group, the dominant knowledge, the scholar, the deep, vast ocean.
And the Omari, the restorer, the reviver, the possessor of knowledge, righteousness, and vision.
And the Tunisian, the banner of knowledge, the one who brings together the sciences and the sciences.
And others from the scholars of breadth, the people of insight and the people of bounty.
There is no doubt that our Sheikh al-Tijani the founder of the order is the mine of every Gnostic pillar.
He gives, he forbids, he strips away; who is like this Sheikh in this time?
