وَكَيفَ بَعدَ اِستِلامي رُكنَ كَعبَتِهِ

وَكَيفَ بَعدَ اِستِلامي رُكنَ كَعبَتِهِ

أَخافُ مِن ظَمَئي مِن ماءِ زَمزَمِهِ

أَخافُ مِن ظَمَئي مِن ماءِ زَمزَمِهِ

And how, after touching the corner of his Kaaba,

Could I fear thirst, with water from his Zamzam?

وَحُرمَةُ البَيتِ عِندَ الخَلقِ ما جُهِلَت

وَحُرمَةُ البَيتِ عِندَ الخَلقِ ما جُهِلَت

فَقَد أَبى اللَهُ حِرماناً بِمُحرِمِهِ

فَقَد أَبى اللَهُ حِرماناً بِمُحرِمِهِ

And the sanctity of the House is known to all creation;

For God has refused to let its consecrated pilgrim be deprived.

وَإِنَّما العُمرُ أَنفاسٌ مُصَرَّمَةٌ

وَإِنَّما العُمرُ أَنفاسٌ مُصَرَّمَةٌ

وَلَيسَ يُعطي ذِماماً مِن تَصَرُّمِهِ

وَلَيسَ يُعطي ذِماماً مِن تَصَرُّمِهِ

And life is but breaths cut short,

And it offers no protection against its ending.
