لَما استرحنا مِن صُعود العَقَبَهْ
وَنال كُل في التَهاني أَرَبَهْ
When we rested from climbing the heights
And each received congratulations for his feat
وَوَاحد الدَهر سَعيدُ مَصرِه
أَزال عَن قَلب الحَجيج كرَبَهْ
And the times were propitious for the fortunate pilgrim
It removed from the hearts of the pilgrims their distress
وَقَد أَعدّ البحر دُون برّه
لرحلة مَفروضة مكتتبَهْ
And the sea made ready before the shore
For an obligatory journey already booked
وَاهتمّ في رَفاهة العباد
بِرأفة لِغَيره مُكتَسَبهْ
And he was concerned for the comfort of his subjects
With kindness not acquired for others’ sake
وَجنده في المحمل الشَريف قَد
نظم بِالميدان مِنهُ مَوكبَهْ
And his army on the noble transport
Was arranged on the field in a ceremonial procession
وَقَد سَعى ذا المَوكب المنيف
بِهِ عَلى عربة منتصبَهْ
And this graceful procession strove
To carry him on a dais erected
عَربة بَديعة أَنشأها
برسمه في هَيئة منتخبهْ
A wondrous dais constructed
In a specially selected form
أَرّختها في عَصره العَزيز
أَسس للمحمل أَسنى عَرَبَهْ
Its date in his glorious reign recorded
He laid the noblest foundation for the transport
