أفسد الحج ما أتاه حسين

ليس حجا ولا الحجاز حجاز

Hussein has spoiled the pilgrimage he came for

It is no pilgrimage, nor is the Hejaz really the Hejaz

يرأس الركب قنصل جنرال

ولدى البيت ينشد المرسياز

The caravan is led by a consul general

And near the House, the marseillaise is sung

حسبك اللّه يا شريف وحاشا

من شريف للكفر يبدو انحياز

May God suffice you, O Sharif, and shame

On a nobleman who shows bias for blasphemy

أيها المجرمون دنيا وأخرى

مثلما قال ربكم فامتازوا

O sinners in this world and the next

Differentiate between yourselves, as your Lord has said
