1. With determination, I crossed the bridge of my journey's purpose,
Though it had no poles but faith in a sea of tribulation.

2. I crossed a land whose ways had become crooked,
Assailed by every rogue and charlatan.

3. To a Kaaba which I used to visit but hasn't been visited,
Around which my hopes revolve since time immemorial.

4. When it appeared before my eyes, I said to it,
Its lofty aspect clothes me in solemnity.

5. I came to you prohibited from all means,
And clothed the face of the earth in trailing robes.
