سَعَى بِبَابِكَ لا أَخَلَّ بِفَرضهِ

سَعَى بِبَابِكَ لا أَخَلَّ بِفَرضهِ

إلاَّ لأَنّي قَدْ رُمِيتُ بِجَمْرَةِ

إلاَّ لأَنّي قَدْ رُمِيتُ بِجَمْرَةِ

I would not neglect the duty of striving at your door,

I have sought your door, not neglecting my duty,

were it not that I have been pelted with a burning coal.

Except that I was pelted with burning embers.

فَاعْجَبْ لِحَظٍّ سَاقَ قَبلَ الحَجِّ لي

فَاعْجَبْ لِحَظٍّ سَاقَ قَبلَ الحَجِّ لي

رَمْيَ الجِمارِ وَعِنْدَ حَاليْ وَقْفَتي

رَمْيَ الجِمارِ وَعِنْدَ حَاليْ وَقْفَتي

So marvel at a fate that brought me, before the pilgrimage,

So marvel at a glance that led me before the pilgrimage

the casting of pebbles—and, in my plight, my standing still.

To the stoning of the Jamarat, while in my state, my stance.
