1. نزلنَا بِهِ حتّى إذَا يومُنا انقضَى

    رحلنا على العيسِ النّجائِب والجُرْدِ

    We camped there until, when our day had passed,

    We departed on noble pale camels and sleek horses.

  2. نؤُمُّ بها البيتَ العتيقَ ونبتغِي

    من النَّارِ عتقاً جاءَ في سابِقِ الوعدِ

    We make for the Ancient House on them, and seek

    Deliverance from the Fire, set forth in the promise of old.

  3. فيا مَنْ قصدْنَا بيتَه ونبيَّهُ

    بكَ العَوْذُ يا مولاَي مِن خَيْبَةِ القَصْدِ

    So, O You whose House and Prophet we have sought,

    In You is refuge, O my Lord, from a fruitless quest.
