أَلَم تَرَني وَيَحيى قَد حَجَجنا

وَكانَ الحَجُّ مِن خَيرِ التِجارَه

Did you not see me and Yahya, we made the pilgrimage

And the pilgrimage was the best trade

خَرَجنا طالِبَي خَيرٍ وَبِرٍّ

فَمالَ بِنا الطَريقُ إِلى زُرارَه

We set out seeking goodness and righteousness

But our path turned towards Zararah

فَعادَ الناسُ قَد غَنِموا وَحَجّوا

وَأُبنا مُوَقَرَينَ مِنَ الخَسارَه

The people returned, having profited and made the pilgrimage

While we returned utterly destitute and in loss
