1. لَما استرحنا مِن صُعود العَقَبَهْ

    وَنال كُل في التَهاني أَرَبَهْ

    When we rested from climbing the heights

    And each received congratulations for his feat

  2. 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

  3. وَقَد أَعدّ البحر دُون برّه

    لرحلة مَفروضة مكتتبَهْ

    And the sea made ready before the shore

    For an obligatory journey already booked

  4. وَاهتمّ في رَفاهة العباد

    بِرأفة لِغَيره مُكتَسَبهْ

    And he was concerned for the comfort of his subjects

    With kindness not acquired for others’ sake

  5. 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

  6. وَقَد سَعى ذا المَوكب المنيف

    بِهِ عَلى عربة منتصبَهْ

    And this graceful procession strove

    To carry him on a dais erected

  7. عَربة بَديعة أَنشأها

    برسمه في هَيئة منتخبهْ

    A wondrous dais constructed

    In a specially selected form

  8. أَرّختها في عَصره العَزيز

    أَسس للمحمل أَسنى عَرَبَهْ

    Its date in his glorious reign recorded

    He laid the noblest foundation for the transport
