1. أعُقبَةُ جُبنا أجبُلاً وعقاباً

    أضَلّت مواميها قطاً وعُقاباً

    O Uqba, we traversed mountains and mountain passes.

    Their vast deserts led sandgrouse and eagle astray.

  2. أعُقبَةُ سل مولاكَ جلّ جلالُهُ

    يُؤَمِّنُنا كي لا نخافَ عِقاباً

    O Uqba, ask your Lord—exalted is His majesty—

    To grant us safety, so that we do not fear punishment.

  3. فها نحنُ وَفدُ اللَهِ حجاجُ بيتهِ

    وطيبَةَ إذ من طيبها الكونُ طابا

    For here we are, God's delegation, pilgrims to His House

    And to Tayba, for through its sweetness the universe grew sweet.

  4. قَصَدناكَ في نيلِ المقاصدِ كُلّها

    ومثلُكَ من بالمكرمات أجابا

    We sought you to attain all our aims,

    And one such as you has answered with acts of generosity.
