عج بِالعَقيقِ وَقف بذات الاجرَع

وَأَنخ مطيك بِالعَذيب وَلَعلَع

He urged his camel on at Al-Aqeeq and stopped at Thul-Ajraa

I rode my horse quickly through Al-Adheeb as it trotted lively

وَاِنزل منى فهناك قَد بَلَغَ المُنى

قَوم وَفازوا بِالمَقام الاِرفَع

And I descended for I had reached the hoped for destination

A folk who won the most splendid abode

وَتَمَلّ بِالبَيتِ الحَرام وَمل اِلى

وادي الخزام وَنَشرِه المُتَضَوّع

And he circled around the Sacred House and turned toward

The valley of Al-Khuzam, verdant and fresh

ثُم اِنعَطَف نَحو الابيرَق وَالنَقا

وَدع التَواني في السَرى وَتشجع

Then he turned toward Al-Abraq and An-Nqaa

And left behind the sand dunes in wild terrain and adventured on

وَاِقصد أَخا الاشواق مُنعَطف اللَوى

فَوق الغَوير وَتَحتَ بانَة يَنبع

And I went straight to the brother of passions at Luwaa’s twist

Above Al-Ghuweir downstream of Bana’s spring

خث المطيّ أَخا الغَرام هنيهَة

وَاِصبِر عَلى حرّ الوَطيس البَلقَع

I whipped the horse, O brother of love, gently

And patiently endured the blazing heat of the wilderness

وَمر المطي يَطبن نَفسا بِالسرى

وَيسرت بَين مردّد ومَرجِع

And the horse passed by breathing deeply, pleased,

And I felt comfortable between going and returning

يا حادى الاِظعان خلّ زمامها

ترد المِياه كَما تَشاء وَتَرتعى

O guide of the caravan, leave the reins slack

So the camels may drink as they wish and graze

أَوّاه لو تَدري المَطايا قَدر ما

ظَفَرت به من بَعد ذاكَ المَهيع

Alas! If the horses but knew how much

They gained after that difficult journey

لسعت عَلى أَحداقِها وَثنت ذَوي

أَعناقِها وَطوث حنايا الاضلُع

They would have bitten their cheeks and bent their proud necks

And crushed the ribs of their chests

يا أَيُّها الخَلّ المَشوق ترفقا

بك ان بَدا لَكَ نور ذاكَ المَوضِع

O you who pine, ride gently when the light of that place appears to you

And be steadfast when you meet, for how many a man

وَتجلدا عِند اللُقا فكم اِمرىء

من شَوقه لما رَآه لم يَعي

Longing for what he saw did not survive

And when you reach Taibah’s treaty grounds

وَاِذا وَصل اِلى معاهد طيبة

وَالناس بَين مُسلم وَمودّع

And the people are between newcomers and those taking leave

And the flags of those hills became visible

وَتَظاهَرت أَعلام هاتيكَ الربا

وَبَدا لعينك نور تِلكَ الاربَع

And the light of the Four shone before your eyes

Then enter the one with sublime glory and be

فَاِدخُل الَّذي الجاه الرَفيع وَكُن عَلى

حذر وَسل بِتَأَدّب وَتَضرّع

Cautious, ask permission, pray and plead

And make good use of your time there, happy,

وَاِغنَم سويعات هُناك سَعيدَة

ما بَينَ منبره وَذاكَ المَضجع

Between his pulpit and that place where he would recline

And turn toward his noble grave and call out:

وَاِستَقبِل القَبر الشَريف وَناده

يا من يُؤَمّل لِلكُروبِ اِذا دَعى

O you who is hoped for when distress calls

O you whose glory is great, who by it

يا من له الجاه العَريض وَمن بِهِ

يبر المَريض من السِقام وَالمفظع

Heals the sick of illnesses and relieves agony

This is the station of the frightened refugee,

هذا مقام المُستَعيذ المُستَجي

ر المُذنِب المُتَأَوّه المتوجع

The anxious sinner, the agonized mourner

The timid fearful one who wasted

الخائِف الوَجل الَّذي قَد ضيع ال

أَوقات في تَحصيل ما لَم يَنفَع

Moments acquiring what did not avail

And seek to complete what you desire and do not worry

وَاِطلُب نِهايَة ما تَيد وَلا تَخف

مَللا وَأَكثَر في المُنى وَتَوسع

Of boredom, but increase your wishes and indulgences

And recall there your yearning and eagerness,

وَاِذكُر هُناكَ تَشَوّقي وَتَشَوّفي

وَتَلَهف وَتَولعي وَتوجعي

And craving, and burning agony

And ask the people of Life about my heart for since

وَاِسئَل اَهيل الحَيّ عَن قَلبي فَمُذ

فارَقت طيبَة لَم أَجِد قَلبي مَعي

I left Taibah, I could not find my heart with me

And make excuses for me for being late

وَأَقم لي الاعذار في التَأخير عن

هذا المَقام المُبهج المتضوع

In coming to this cheering, delightful station

Delight your eye for an hour, O brother of passions,

نزه أَخا الاِشواق طرفك ساعَة

فيما هنالِكَ وَاِبتَهِج وَتَمتع

In what is there, and enjoy yourself and indulge

For there hearts brim with joy,

فَهُناكَ تَمتَلىء القُلوب مسرّة

وَتَزول عَن ذي العَيّ شِدّة كل عي

And the distressed find relief from all pain

And prepare your conversation for Adheeb and Barqi

وَأَعد حَديثك لِلعَذيب وَبارِق

وَاِبكَ الدِيار وَأَجر سحب الادمُع

And weep for the abodes and shed tears

Those abodes, where can the like of them be found

تِلكَ الدِيار فَأَينَ يوجد مِثلُها

طيباً وَأَيّ علالها لَم يَرجِع

As good, and which of their plants will not bloom?

Where prophethood, messengership and guidance are present

حَيثُ النُبُوّة وَالرِسالَة وَالهُدى

وَلَوامِعَ الفَضلِ الاعز الامنَع

And the noblest most splendid virtues shine

The secret of existence, and the pole of the sphere of passion

سِرّ الوُجودِ وَقطب دائِرَة الشَهو

دو ذو اللوا المَعقود يَوم المفزع

He of the twisted lock, on the day we shall stand in awe

The best of all creation, and the most eminent

أَزكى الوَرى وَأَجل من وطىء الثَرى

قَدراً وَأَكرَم شافِع وَمُشفِع

To have tread earth in rank and the most generous intercessor
