وَبَينَ الصَفا وَالمروَتَين ذكرتكُم

وَبَينَ الصَفا وَالمروَتَين ذكرتكُم

بِمُختَلَف ما بَينَ ساع وَموجف

بِمُختَلَف ما بَينَ ساع وَموجف

And between al-Safa and the two Marwas, I remembered you all,

I remembered you between Safa and Marwah

Where those walking briskly and those hastening crossed paths.

In the diverse times between surge and ebb

وَعِندَ طوافي قد ذَكَرتُكَ ذكرة

وَعِندَ طوافي قد ذَكَرتُكَ ذكرة

هِيَ المَوتُ بَل كادَت عَلى المَوتِ تَضعُف

هِيَ المَوتُ بَل كادَت عَلى المَوتِ تَضعُف

And during my circumambulation, I indeed remembered you—a remembrance

And during my circumambulations, I remembered you with a remembrance

That was death—nay, nearly twice death itself.

That is death, nay it almost doubles death
