Although there are four marble inscriptions on the eastern facade of the mausoleum that belong to the old mausoleum, one of them is completely worn away and illegible; the inscriptions contain the following text in eight lines:
We are a company of lovers, free from
sorrow; we are the dust
beneath the lovers’ feet. Do not be deceived by the illusions of this transient world
; be mindful that this is the abode of the Truth, and do not entrust yourself to it.
Show love to the people of remembrance, for this world is but
the abode of departure; do not take pride
in its glory. Do not join the ranks of the unbelievers,
for in the end, all who come to it will pass on.
He departed from the abode of transience to the abode of eternity
: Sheikh Abdul-Ziz al-Taghistani in the year
1290–1300 (A.D. 1873–1883).
