1. أما والذي حلت بساحة بيته

    جراجيج ركبان الحجيج وخيّموا

    Lo, by Him in whose House's courtyard there halted

    the huge camels of the mounted pilgrims, who pitched camp—

  2. لقد حلّ بي في الحبّ مالوا قليله

    تحمّله صلدٌ وثيق ململم

    indeed, in love I have suffered something whose slightest part,

    if borne by a hard, firm, rounded rock,

  3. لأصبح قد أوهى ذراه مهدّما

    رضيضا هشيما صلده ومهدّم

    would leave its summits weakened, the rock demolished,

    its hard stone crushed, shattered, and ruined.
