1. When he set out from the blessed land of Tayba
With prayers for abundance answered, his state sublime,

2. He said, my wishes at Mina I attained
By my intent and destiny, acting in time.

3. Like I visited Khalil's abode of yore
The best of masters to slaves gently incline

4. Free men worshipped by great men's humbling themselves
By true speech or good acts, a grace divine,

5. With glory guarded like lovers' secrets
And wealth like tears of passion, O so fine!
