1. مَضى زَماني وَتَقَضّى المَدى

    فَلَيتَني وُفِّقتُ في ذا الزُمَين

    My time has passed, and my span is spent.

    If only I had been guided aright in this brief time.

  2. أَرزَمتِ النابُ وَعارَضتُها

    فَلِيَعجَبِ السامِعُ لِلمُرزَمَين

    The aged she-camel moaned, and I answered her;

    so let the listener marvel at the two moaners.

  3. أَمطَرَنا اللَهُ بِإِحسانِهِ

    لا أَنسُبُ الغَيثَ إِلى المِرزَمَين

    God has sent us rain through His bounty;

    I do not attribute the rain to the two Mirzam stars.

  4. لَيتَ دُموعي بِمِنىً سُيِّلَت

    لِيَشرَبَ الحُجّاجُ مِن زَمزَمَين

    Would that my tears had been made to flow at Mina,

    so that the pilgrims might drink from two Zamzam wells.
