سميت مكيا وحافظ مكة

لفؤادك القاسي علينا ينسب

You are named Mecca's protector, though your heart is harsh towards us,

And you count union with you as being drawn into its prey,

وجعلت وصلك داخلا في صيدها

وإنا لوصلك يا غزالي أرغب

Yet I, my gazelle, for your union yearn far more

So grace us with your lips, for they are from Zamzam's spring,

فاسمح بثغرك إنه من زمزم

يا من يعذبنا الذ واعذب

Oh you who torments us, yet is most sweet.
