1. Veiled one, if you come to pilgrimage
With passion and love for the Messenger in your heart,

2. And you catch sight of the radiance of his abode,
And smell it as sweet basil fragrance,

3. And you walk upon the ancient site gazing at it,
Your tears flowing and your glance fixed upon it,

4. And Destiny carries you to where the soul journeys,
And the Message spread,

5. And you reach a house in Hijaz blessed by the Creator around it,
Where Allah made the sacred inviolable to His creatures,

6. And made the permissible clear,
There lies the goodness of spirit, the goodness of all worlds,

7. Free from ignorance,
There lie the ruins of eloquence and elegance and nobility,

8. There lies the most fragrant mosque,
The most fragrant of lands, upon which he walked,

9. There lies the darling of passion, and the tale of Qays and his gazelle,
There lies the knight riding his steed, lost in his imagination,

10. There lies the one who combined forbearance, dignity, and courage,
There lies the tent of piety where knowledge has pitched its poles,

11. There lies the meadow of civilization, may Allah shade us with it,
Indeed Hussein son of Hussein is the Prince of Mecca and its dependencies,

12. The pilgrims' moon, when he appears the land of pilgrimage is illuminated by him,
You are the ailing one, so cling to him as a healer, and gain his gift,

13. There is no remedy but his grandfather, who heals minds from misguidance,
Kiss his tomb and say to him from me, convey in your speech,

14. That I, O Son of Ahmad, after greeting your father kindly,
Am under the protection of your rightly guiding father, I love him and revere his family,

15. My longing for you is like the longing of the blind for the gazelle,
O son of the rightly guided kings, the just sovereigns,

16. If sovereignty lies in majesty, then prophethood is your majesty,
Is not your grandfather the one who perfected existence by it?
