If racehorses run, then I am the noble steed.
If you race horses, I am the thoroughbred
When I heard your caller say, “Come to us,”
When I heard your call, it pained me

I tightened my pilgrimage waistcloth and answered the call.
I tightened my ihram belt and cried Labbayk
Indeed, I detached myself from my family and my child,
I shed my family and children

And I turned away from the sweetness of my serene, comfortable life.
And gave up my sweet, plentiful life
And I bound fast the saddles of patience and fortitude,
I tightened the straps of patience and strength

Until I reached you in the eve of my life
وعندand upon نيلattaining المنىthe wishes قدindeed جالpassed فيin فكريmy mind
وعند نيل المنى قد جال في فكري
لوif جئتكمI came to you ماشياًon foot أسعىI hasten علىupon بصريmy sight

And upon attaining my wishes, a thought crossed my mind:
And when attaining what I wished, it crossed my mind
“Had I come to you on foot, hastening upon my eyes,
If I came to you walking, relying on my sight
لمnot أوفِI fulfill حقّاًa rightful due وأيّand what الحقّthe due أدّيتُI rendered

I would not have fulfilled your due—and what due have I rendered?”
I would not have fulfilled any right or duty
