1. O Lord, the minister has made the pilgrimage
Yet he has no desire for the pilgrimage

2. Rather, he fears that if he does not go
He will fall into disfavor with the sultan

3. O Lord, the evilest of tribes
And their ilk have come to You

4. Make straight their paths, and do not O Lord
Let them return in victory to their lands

5. When the likes of them enter the Two Holy Mosques
It is, O my Master, a cause for censure
