1. He settled in Mecca for a dozen pilgrimages
Reminding, were he to meet a generous friend
١. ثَوى بِمَكَّةَ بِضعَ عَشرَةَ حِجَّةً
يُذَكِّرُ لَو يَلقى خَليلاً مُؤاتِيا
2. And displaying himself before the crowds
But found none to shelter nor anyone calling
٢. وَيَعرِضُ في أَهلِ المَواسِمِ نَفسَهُ
فَلَم يَرَ مَن يُؤوِي وَلَم يَرَ داعِيا
3. When he came to us and settled happily
He awoke content in the goodness of Taybah
٣. فَلَمّا أَتانا وَاِطمَأَنَّت بِهِ النَوى
فَأَصبَحَ مَسروراً بِطَيبَةَ راضِيا
4. And awoke fearing no unjust enemy
Neither kin nor the people's rebellion
٤. وَأَصبَحَ لا يَخشى عَداوَةَ ظالِمٍ
قَريبٍ وَلا يَخشى مِنَ الناسِ باغِيا
5. We gave him our wealth from the best of our riches
And ourselves in turmoil and discord
٥. بَذَلنا لَهُ الأَموالَ مِن جُلِّ مالِنا
وَأَنفُسَنا عِندَ الوَغى وَالتَآسِيا
6. We battle all who oppose the people
Together, even if the beloved purifies
٦. نُحارِبُ مَن عادى مِنَ الناسِ كُلَّهِم
جَمعاً وَإِن كانَ الحَبيبُ المُصافِيا
7. And we know that there is no Lord but Allah
And that Allah's book has become our guide
٧. وَنَعلَمُ أَنَّ اللَهَ لا رَبَّ غَيرُهُ
وَأَنَّ كِتابَ اللَهِ أَصبَحَ هادِيا
