1. And a group called on me to answer their call
Yet when they called me, they did not see me sitting

2. My brothers who called me to answer them
You will see the shaking of the spear from me

3. I swore by what is between al-Hatiym and Zamzam
And I swore by the Ancient House that is built

4. And by those circling around during these nights
You see them bowing and prostrating

5. They populate the dwelling of Abraham and tomb
Shining with the light of the Prophet Muhammad

6. On foot and riders over every exhausted camel
And above the iron bars that are extended

7. So there is no gentleness in the talk of Hajj, and it is morning
Coming on the terms of al-Bukhari with support

8. By my life, the talent of the memorizer revived
The eras of songs to al-Sarijj and Maʿbad

9. They say to me, mention it from Syria
Was he not the beloved of Syria, the most affectionate

10. So I said to them, I will praise him with the righteous
Sprung from the Arabs whenever he prays and is guided

11. No Arab elucidated its pronunciation
Not a Syrian, nor Egyptian, nor wandering

12. And before me I gave you honest witness
And the like of me follows the praise of al-Sajiyya

13. So you are either prose without defending
Or the prince of poetry after Ahmad
