1. She appeared in the darkness, that she-camel
So we were illuminated by the lights of that radiance

2. And we saw the full moon appearing in her face
Rising in it wearing clothes of splendor

3. And her teeth and mirror shone brilliantly
So we said, a light appeared which outshone light

4. And we prostrated before her and took
From the earth she treads, borders of glory

5. And we picked the light of guidance, while she spilled blood
So we floated in a garden and lake

6. And the radiance of the venerable Black Stone was revealed to us
Covered from the first rays of the shining dawn

7. Combining the image of night for beholding
And the meaning of houses

8. So we kissed it all to meet
A place distinguished by the warning prophet

9. May we thereby, by that apparent effect
In some way be freed from the blazing hellfire

10. And awe of her testified to us
His description in his blessed circumambulation

11. So his lights came to us, striving
Toward us in his going and passing

12. And we placed our brows on the ground in thanks
In the good soil of that pure dust

13. And we praised Him in whose presence is the Sacred House
Who blessed us with the goodness of that attendance

14. A place which was the origin of the guidance of creation
And wherein guidance began appearing

15. And to it in the garb of humility strive
All with a pulpit and lord of a throne

16. The scholars are equal in it, so there is no
Difference between the wealthy and the poor

17. And they hide from the sins and burdens
They brought with the heaviness of appearing

18. And the dearest of places was to the Guide
Intercessor of mankind on the Day of Resurrection

19. The one with miracles, among them speech
Of the staff, announcing, and speech of the camel

20. And the greeting of stones began by his
Command in their going and attending

21. And the yearning cry which let the world
Hear together in the frequented mosque

22. So he came to him and embraced him and spent
With kindness on him the small

23. And the Book which challenged mankind
So they failed due to their inadequacy and falling short

24. It confounded both mankind and jinn
They sought its like but did not find a peer

25. In it are our rulings and knowledge of what
Will come and news of what passed in ages

26. And evidence at the place of Resurrection guiding
Its radiance and companion in the graves

27. And intercessor also for those nearing him
Who will enjoy his accepted intercession

28. The dwelling he was brought to by the Spirit Gabriel
Stars from the Subtle, All-Aware

29. So we were guided by its light and held fast
To the guidance from it in all matters

30. And we set the excellent example of his sunna
Falling on a mountain of the land of delusion

31. And by its light he showed us every good
Which did not come to our conscience

32. Would that I knew! Will I meet him
And fulfill my vows?

33. What remains of my life's journey is brief
Too short for my course

34. Except that I hope for the meeting - and what is that
Difficult for the Able God?

35. And how much did he who had long hope attain
What he wished for in the short time

36. And if sins have been heaped
Upon my journey from him, hindering my destiny

37. Then my clinging to his status and my hope
That tomorrow he will be my protector

38. And my refuge is in my Lord's pardon - for God's pardon
Is stronger than any great sin

39. So upon him be peace, as long as the east wind
Stirs in the expanse of an exquisite meadow

40. And upon him be peace, as long as the wild cows
Call their neighing with the rocks
