بَينَ الإِزارَينِ مِنَ المُحرِمِ

بَدليهُ عَقلِ الرَجُلِ المُسلِمِ

Between the two wraps of ihram

Is the intellect of a Muslim man

في قَدِّ غُصنِ البانِ لَكِنَّهُ

مِن طَيِّباتِ الشَجَرِ المُطعَمِ

Like a twig of aloe wood

Of sweet-scented grafted trees

مَرَّ إِلى الرُكنِ فَزاحَمتُهُ

فَالتَمَسَ الرُكنَ وَلَم يَلثِمِ

He passed by the corner so I pushed him

He held onto the corner without kissing

وَفاتَ بِالسَبقِ إِلى زَمزَمٍ

وَكانَت اللَذاتُ في زَمزَمِ

He missed reaching Zamzam first

Though its water was most delicious

شَرِبتُ فَضلَ الماءِ مِن بَعدِهِ

فَلَستُ أَنسى طَعمَهُ في الفَمِ

I drank the water left after him

Its taste in my mouth I'll never forget
