1. يا أيها المَولى الذي بِوُجودِه

    أبدَت محاسنَها لنا الأيامُ

    O master, through whose presence

    the days have revealed their beauties to us.

  2. إني حجَجتُ إلى مقامِكَ حَجَّةَ ال

    أشواقِ لا ما يوجِبُ الإسلامُ

    Indeed, I made pilgrimage to your abode—a pilgrimage of

    longing, not one enjoined by Islam.

  3. وأنختُ بالحرَمِ الشَّريفِ مَطِيَّتي

    فَتشرفَت واشتاقَها الأقدامُ

    And I made my mount kneel in the noble sanctuary;

    so it gained honor, and feet yearned for it.

  4. فَظلِلتُ أُنشِدُ عند نُشداني لها

    بيتاً لمن هُو في القَريضِ إمامُ

    Then I kept reciting, as I searched for it,

    a verse by one who is a master of poetry:

  5. وإذا المطيُّ بنا بلغنَ محمدا

    فظهورُهنَّ على الرجالِ حرامُ

    “And when the mounts have carried us to Muhammad,

    then their backs are forbidden to men.”
