1. يا زائِراً جَنَباتِ الشامِ مُعتَبِراً

    أَحرِم فَأَنتَ بِحَجزٍ غَيرِ مَحجورِ

    O visitor to the reaches of al-Sham, reflecting,

    Enter ritual consecration, for you are within a precinct not barred.

  2. فَما بِها بَلَدٌ لَم يَغشَهُ بَدَلٌ

    أَو مُرسَلٌ بِكِتابِ غَيرِ مَهجورِ

    For no town there has gone unvisited by a saint,

    Or by a messenger bearing a scripture never forsaken.

  3. مَثوى النُبُوَّةِ وَالآياتِ مُعجِزَةٌ

    وَالنورِ يُشرِقُ مِنهُ كَلُّ ديجورِ

    The abode of prophethood and miraculous signs,

    And of light, from which every darkness grows radiant.
