1. إِنَّ امرأَ تَعتادُهُ ذِكَرٌ

    مِنها ثَلاثُ مِنىً لَذو صَبرِ

    Surely a man whom memories revisit—

    Three stays at Mina among them—is truly patient.

  2. وَمَواقِفٌ بِالمَشعَرَينِ لَها

    وَمَناظِرُ الجَمَراتِ والنَحرِ

    And her halts at the two sacred sites,

    And the sights of the Jamarat and the sacrifice,

  3. وَإِفاضَةُ الرُكبانِ خَلفَهُم

    مِثلَ الغَمامِ أَرَذَّ بِالقَطرِ

    And the riders streaming forth behind them,

    Like clouds shedding a fine rain,

  4. حَتّى استَلَمنَ الرُكنَ في أُنُفٍ

    مِن ليلَهُنَّ يَطأَنَ في الأَزرِ

    Until they touched the Corner at the start

    Of their night, treading in their wraps.

  5. يَقعُدنَ في التطوافِ آوِ نَةً

    وَيَطُفنَ أَحياناً عَلى فَترِ

    They sit at times during the circling,

    And at times circle languidly.

  6. فَفَرَغنَ مِن سَبعٍ وَقَد جُهِدَت

    أَحشاؤُهُنَّ مَوائِلَ الخُمرِ

    Then they finished seven circuits, exhausted

    To the core, their veils askew.
