1. مَضى زَماني وَتَقَضّى المَدى

    فَلَيتَني وُفِّقتُ في ذا الزُمَين

    My time has passed, and the span has run its course.

    If only I had been granted success in this brief time.

  2. أَرزَمتِ النابُ وَعارَضتُها

    فَلِيَعجَبِ السامِعُ لِلمُرزَمَين

    The old she-camel moaned, and I answered her;

    so let the listener marvel at the two moaners.

  3. أَمطَرَنا اللَهُ بِإِحسانِهِ

    لا أَنسُبُ الغَيثَ إِلى المِرزَمَين

    God sent us rain in His kindness;

    I do not attribute the rain to the two Mirzam stars.

  4. لَيتَ دُموعي بِمِنىً سُيِّلَت

    لِيَشرَبَ الحُجّاجُ مِن زَمزَمَين

    If only my tears had been made to flow at Mina,

    so that the pilgrims might drink from two Zamzam wells.
