قدمنا على أرضِ الحجازِ غدية

قدمنا على أرضِ الحجازِ غدية

وجاء بشيرُ القومِ قد بلغ المنى

وجاء بشيرُ القومِ قد بلغ المنى

We arrived in the land of the Hijaz one morning.

We arrive at the land of Hejaz in the morning

And the people's herald came, having attained his wishes.

And the messenger of the people comes announcing we have reached Mina

أيا صاحبيَّ عرِّجا بي على الصفا

أيا صاحبيَّ عرِّجا بي على الصفا

نطوف به أو بالمحصَّبِ من مِنى

نطوف به أو بالمحصَّبِ من مِنى

O my two companions, turn aside with me to al-Safa.

Oh my companion, take me to Safa

Let us circle it, or al-Muhassab in Mina.

So we may circumambulate it or the Jamarat from Mina

فمن طافَ يوماً بين مروةَ والصفا

فمن طافَ يوماً بين مروةَ والصفا

ينزه يومَ الحشر في موقف السّوي

ينزه يومَ الحشر في موقف السّوي

For whoever circles one day between Marwa and al-Safa

For he who circumambulates one day between Marwah and Safa

Will be exalted on the Day of Gathering, at the station of the upright.

Will be protected on the Day of Resurrection in the Station of Sua

فكم بين مطلوبٍ يطوفُ بعرشه

فكم بين مطلوبٍ يطوفُ بعرشه

وآخر يسعى بين مروةَ والصفا

وآخر يسعى بين مروةَ والصفا

How vast, then, the difference between one who is sought, circling his throne,

So how many desired goals are sought by circling a throne

And another who strives between Marwa and al-Safa!

While another strives between Marwah and Safa

فهذي عباداتُ المراد تخلَّصَتْ

فهذي عباداتُ المراد تخلَّصَتْ

وأنْ ليس للإنسان غيرُ الذي سعى

وأنْ ليس للإنسان غيرُ الذي سعى

These, then, are the devotions of the one desired, made pure.

These acts of worship and purification are intended

And that a human being has nothing but what he has striven for.

For man has naught but what he worked for
