1. عُوجي عَلَيَّ فَسَلِّمي جَبرُ

    فيمَ الصُدودُ وَأَنتُمُ سَفرُ

    Turn toward me and greet me, Jabr.

    Why this shunning, when you are travelers?

  2. ما نَلتَقي إِلّا ثَلاثَ مِنىً

    حَتّى يُفَرِّقَ بَينَنا النَفرُ

    We meet only for three days at Mina,

    Until the departure separates us.

  3. الحَولَ ثُمَّ الشَهرَ يَتبَعُهُ

    ما الدَهرُ إِلّا الحَولُ وَالشَهرُ

    A year, then the month that follows it—

    Time is nothing but the year and the month.
