1. تَقبِيلُ كَفِّكَ مَسنُونٌ وَمُفتَرَضُ

    وَأَنتُمُ الحَجُّ مَا مِن فَوتِهِ عِوَضُ

    Kissing your palm is prescribed by tradition and obligatory.

    And you are the pilgrimage—nothing can make up for missing it.

  2. وَأَنتُمُ جَوهرُ الدُّنيَا وَعُنصُرُهَا

    وَالنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمُ مِن بَعدِكُم عَرَضُ

    And you are the world's substance and its essence.

    And all people besides you are mere accidents.

  3. فَكُلُّ سَهمٍ لآمَالِي أُسَدِّدُهُ

    فَأَنتُمُ الهَدَفُ المَقصُودُ وَالغَرَضُ

    So, for every arrow of my hopes that I aim,

    You are the intended target and the goal.

  4. يُحِبُّكُم كُلُّ مَن صَحَّت عَقِيدَتُهُ

    حَتماً وَيُبغضُ مَن فِي قَلبِهِ مَرَضُ

    Everyone whose faith is sound loves you,

    Without fail; and whoever has sickness in his heart hates you.
