Continuing from the article Makam (Tomb of) Sheikh Abdul Samad al-Falimbani.

Di makam Sheikh Abdul Samad saya berpecah arah dengan kawan-kawan. Mereka ke selatan untuk kembali ke Malaysia melalui Kelantan saya berseorangan menaiki pengangkutan awam ke Songkhla dengan niat mahu melawat tinggalan kota lama kerajaan Singgora di sana. Sebaliknya disebabkan silap faham dalam menyatakan arah tujuan saya dibawa ke tempat ini. Orang Thai berbangsa Melayu yang menumpangkan saya menaiki motosikal berkereta tepi tidak dapat memahami beberapa perkataan Melayu yang saya tuturkan.

At the tomb of Sheikh Abdul Samad I separated ways from friends. They headed south to return to Malaysia via Kelantan I travelled alone taking public transport to Songkhla with the intention of visiting the ruins of the old kingdom of Singgora there. On the other hand because of misunderstanding in stating my destination I was brought to this place . The Thai person of Malay race who gave me a ride on his motorcycle with a sidecar could not understand some of the Malay words I've spoken.

Saya sebenarnya meminta dibawa ke tinggalan kota Singgora. Apabila beliau tidak faham saya sebut ia sebagai tinggalan kota Sultan Sulaiman.

I actually asked to be taken to remains of the fort of Singgora. When he could not understand I said it as the remains of the fort of Sultan Sulaiman.

Dia kelihatan faham apabila disebut nama Sultan Sulaiman. Ini kerana baginda adalah pengasas kerajaan Singgora awal abad ke-17 Masihi.

He looks like he understood when the name Sultan Sulaiman was mentioned. This is because his majesty was the founder of the kingdom of Singgora in the early 17th century AD.

Cuma beliau rupanya tidak jelas tentang kota. Yang dibawa ini adalah ke makam Sultan Sulaiman...

Its just that he turned out to be not clear on the fort. The place he took me to here is the tomb of Sultan Sulaiman.

Tak mengapa. Saya anggap ini sebagai undangan baginda untuk menziarahi makam. Sebelum ini tak terfikir pun saya mahu sampai ke sini. Kelihatan potrait wajah baginda. Untuk makluman Sultan Sulaiman berasal dari Parsi.

Doesn't matter. I take this as his majesty's invitation to pay a visit to his tomb. Before this it never crossed my thought to reach here. Seen is a portrait of his face. For information Sultan Sulaiman originated from Persia.

Inilah makam baginda. Al Fatihah...

This is it his majesty's tomb. Al Fatihah (recite the first verse of the Muslim holy book the Quran)...
