حَبلاً بِهِ رَجَعَت نُفوسُكُمُ

وَلَقَد بَلَغنَ تَراقِيَ النَحرِ

Your souls have returned bound to it,

And we have certainly reached the heights of sacrifice.

إِنّي أَرى الحَجّاجَ أَدرَكَهُ

ما أَدرَكَ الأَروى عَلى الوَعرِ

Indeed I see that the pilgrims have reached

What the intrepid could not reach through the rugged terrain.

وَأَخاهُ وَاِبنَيهِ الَّذينِ هُما

كانا يَدَيهِ وَخالِصَ الصَدرِ

And his brother and his two sons, who were

His hands and the core of his being.

ذَهَبوا وَمالُهُمُ الَّذي جَمَعوا

تَرَكوهُ مِثلَ مُنَضَّدِ الصَخرِ

They have gone and the wealth they amassed

They left it like rocks piled up.

دَخَلوا قُبورَهُمُ إِذا اِضطَجَعوا

فيها بِأَوعِيَةٍ لَهُم صِفرِ

They entered their graves when they lay down

In them with yellowed vessels for themselves.
