1. أَيُّها الرائِحُ المُجِدُّ اِبتِكارا

    قَد قَضى مِن تِهامَةَ الأَوطارا

    O traveler, hastening forth at daybreak,

    who has fulfilled his desires in Tihamah.

  2. مَن يَكُن قَلبُهُ سَليماً صَحيحاً

    فَفُؤادي بِالخَيفِ أَمسى مُعارا

    Whoever's heart may be safe and sound,

    mine, though, is now on loan at al-Khayf.

  3. لَيتَ ذا الحَجَّ كانَ حَتماً عَلَينا

    كُلَّ شَهرَينِ حِجَّةً وَاِعتِمارا

    Would that this Hajj were obligatory for us,

    every two months—a Hajj and an umrah!
