Hüvel Bâkî (The Only One Who Remains is He – Allah)

  1. The honorable Osman, an honorable and high name, has departed from this world,
  2. The son of Bosnevîzâde, (the son) of the late Süleyman Pasha.
  3. He, Bujar, the son of the vizier, the son of the vizier Gazi,
  4. Honorable among viziers, the leader of wise people.
  5. In justice and determination he had no equal,
  6. In sincerity, piety and bravery there was no doubt about him.
  7. Whatever position he held, he fulfilled with success and honor,
  8. And every place he stayed, he revived and improved completely.
  9. Finally he withdrew into solitude, to his farm,
  10. Spending his time in the worship of God, patient in the face of trials.
  11. Then he fell into the trap of death, when his life was over,
  12. And his soul flew towards the abode of Eden (Paradise).
  13. May his grave be illuminated with the light of divine mercy,
  14. And on the Day of Judgment, may the Beloved of God (Muhammad, peace be upon him) intercede for him.
  15. His soul rose to the heights – then I said the date (tahrihin):
  16. “Osman Pasha sacrificed the kingdom of this world.”
