1. O people, say altogether
May God bless Moses son of David
١. يا أيُّها النَّاسُ قُولوا أجمَعِين معاً
صلَّى الإلهُ على مُوسى بن دَاودِ
2. His cheeks look like brocade made of gold
When he is honored in his black clothes
٢. كأنّ دِيباجَتَي خَدَّيهِ مِن ذَهَبٍ
إذا تَشَرَّفَ في أثوابِهِ السُّودِ
3. As for your father, we know him as the eye of generosity
And you resemble the most generous of God's creations
٣. أمّا أبُوكَ فَعَينُ الجُودِ نَعرِفُهُ
وأنتَ أشبَهُ خَلقِ اللهِ بالجودِ
4. I was told that the road to Hajj is thirsty
From lack of rain, while my drinking is not with sips
٤. نُبّئتُ أنَّ طَريقَ الحَجِّ مَعطشَةٌ
مِنَ الطِّلاءِ وَمَا شُربي بِتَصرِيدِ
5. By God, I have no good in me for you to seek me
Among the Muslims, and my religion is not praiseworthy
٥. واللهِ ما بيَ مِن خَيرٍ فَتَطلُبُنِي
في المُسلِمينَ وَمَا دِيني بِمَحمُودِ
6. I seek refuge in David and his tomb
From performing Hajj unwillingly, O son of David
٦. إنّي أَعُوذُ بِداودٍ وتُربَتِهِ
مِن أن أَحُجَّ بِكُرهٍ يا ابنَ دَاودِ
