1. The pilgrims of Hejaz departed, traveling by night
And they left me suffering longing and grief

2. Since they saw me detained in the land of Syria
They hastened the camels, having attained their wishes in Minā

3. All of them lamenting painful longing
Those lands roamed among us with their elegies

4. As their departing and arriving mingled
And when their wanderers delighted in the land

5. Their caravans marched, scattering their fragrance
With the pilgrims who perfumed that blessed throng

6. They are the noblest of all pilgrims
Their spirits hastened towards their loved ones

7. They prospered in prosperity and their worries disappeared
With the breeze of the proximity to the Chosen Prophet for them

8. A spirit which, when they drank from his mention, rested
Oh how I have not finished a day of separation and yearning

9. And longing cast the heart of the youth into danger
So I called out to the nomads when I was among the settled

10. "O you who travel to the Chosen One from Mudar
You traveled physically while we traveled spiritually"

11. How much will comfort my heart that longs for their dwellings
And my soul is impatient towards it

12. And how much we say without ability
That we remained incapacitated and excused

13. And whoever remains incapacitated is like one who rested
