1. I yearn for the days of Muhassab from Mina
And a life whose shade was luxurious

2. How excellent was its water and its breeze
How excellent were its pebbles and its sands

3. Oh how I grieve that its sanctuary has drifted from me
Oh how sad I am that its gazelle has disappeared from me

4. And how much purity I have between the two hills
And a full moon surrounded by its halos

5. Resident in my heart wherever I was, the subject of its talk
Fading from my eyes wherever its imagination went

6. And I remember the days of Hejaz and it makes me collapse
As if I were a fallen man beset by his delusions

7. And oh my friend at Khayf, be for me an ascent
When it is time for those pilgrims to depart

8. And take the side of the valley thus on its right
Where the canal shakes from it its length

9. There you see a house for Zaynab gleaming
When you come its majesty will not be hidden from you

10. Then say reciting a verse, and who has tasted the like
In the neighborhood of a neighbor who knew not how to gain access

11. And be thus until you find an opportunity
By which you attain what you sought and obtain it

12. Then mention me wherever you hear Zaynab
And say no hour passes her by without her worries

13. Perhaps when my mention passes by her hearing
She will say "So-and-so, how is his state among you all?"
