1. We descended in the raiment of noble pilgrim garb,
By the Sister of the Corner and the Sacred Abode,
١. نَزَلْنَا حِلَّةَ الْخُلْطِ الْكِرَامِ
بِأُخْتِ الرُّكْنِ وَالْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ
2. And whoever is among the frequent guests of my father,
Is wealthy in deeds, without need for words,
٢. وَمَنْ يَكُ مِنْ ضُيُوفِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ
غَنِيٍّ بِالْفِعَالِ عَنِ الْكَلاَمِ
3. Truly, his abodes are as we have heard:
The abodes of horses and sturdy beasts of burden,
٣. وَإِنَّ بُيُوتَهُ لَكَمَا سَمِعْنَا
بُيُوتَ الْخَيْل وَالنَّعَمِ الْجِسَامِ
4. Shaded by horsemen with lofty banners,
And spread with banquet cloths full of food.
٤. تُظَلِّلُهَا الْفَوَارِسُ بِالْعَوَالِي
وَتَفْرِشُهَا الْوَلاَئِدُ بِالطَّعَامِ
