1. By your life! I shall not forget that morning of parting
Salma's sign with fingers dyed red
١. لَعَمرُكَ لا أَنسى غَداةَ المُحَصِّبِ
إِشارَةَ سَلمى بِالبَنانِ المُخَضَّبِ
2. And the pilgrims had set out, all save a few
In scattered groups, procession after procession
٢. وَقَد صَدَرَ الحُجّاجُ إِلّا أَقَلَّهُم
مَصادِرَ شَتّى مَوكِباً بَعدَ مَوكِبِ
