بِنَفسي غَزالٌ صارَ لِلحُسنِ كَعبَةً

تُحَجُّ مِن الفَجِّ العَميقِ وَتُعبَدُ

With my soul a gazelle has become for beauty a Ka'aba

It is pilgrimaged from the deep vale and worshipped

دَعاني الهَوى فيهِ فَلَبّيتُ طائِعاً

وَأَحرَمَتُ بِالإِخلاصِ وَالسَعيُ يَشهَدُ

Passion called me to it, so I obediently responded

And I entered with sincerity and exertion bears witness

فَجفنيَ لِلتَّسهيدِ وَالدَمعِ قارِنٌ

وَقَلبي فيهِ بِالصَبابَةِ مُفرِدُ

My eyelids coupled with reverence and tears

And my heart in it alone in ardency
