قُلْتُ يا ناقُ كلُّ مالٍ وَجاهٍ

وعَقارٍ فهُنّ مُترَكاتي

I said: O camel, all property and status,

And real estate - these are left behind by me.

فاقْصِدي طِيّةً تَليقُ بقَصْدي

وسُكوتاً تَهْوي لهُ حَرَكاتي

So head for a hill that suits my intention,

And a silence to which my movements incline.

فانْبَرَتْ تَقْطَعُ المَفاوِزَ حتّى

برَكَتْ في حِمَى أبِي البَرَكاتِ

Then she set out, crossing the deserts, until

She knelt in the sanctuary of the Blessed One.
