Reciting a poem titled: "The Sacred Ka'bah."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : On the occasion of Hajj and the season of Hajj, here is a poem titled: "The Sacred Ka'bah."
"The House of Allah and the place where mercy descends *** And a refuge for humans in times of crisis
Safety within it and security for the one who seeks refuge *** And purity within it for the repentant who comes
It is the first of houses built for piety *** For the worship of the Most Merciful and for prayers
It is the qiblah for all Muslims *** In every land at every prayer
Allah magnified it and elevated its status *** A symbol of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) for the land of the desert
A house in a valley without any vegetation *** As Allah willed, the distributor of mercies
If the water of the earth around its courtyard is scarce *** Then tears wash away the ill omens of calamities
Flowers for the souls, keys to its surroundings *** Sufficing for the greenery and the blossoms
And the rustling of the wings of eternity is expressive *** Rising above the melodies and the tunes
The hearts of the believers humbled by its proximity *** And the moaning rose with humbled voices
Labbaik, Lord of the Throne, we have come bareheaded *** And on the faces are signs of regrets
From every valley from all its regions *** From a traveler or a desolate path
From every race and all are proclaiming the talbiyah *** Despite the difference in speech and dialects
The garment of all of them wraps them in its whiteness *** With simplicity in appearance and features
They left the world and rejected its adornment *** And came in the simplest attire and life
The House draws them to the obedience of their Lord *** And the call of Ibrahim in the deserts
They come having left the trade of their land *** For a trade that saves from the cries of pain
Religion and faith are the best trade *** Profit and what a profit in the Gardens
The House is the pivot of the mill around which *** Creatures revolved in humility and weeping
A symbol of unity, devotion, and guidance *** And purity, tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and humility
If the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) defiled it at some time *** Then Muhammad, without doubt, is coming to them
To smash the idols from its walls *** And to mete out blows to the statues
And to restore the roots of the pure religion *** And its branches with determination and steadfastness
And to kiss the Noble Stone seeking blessing *** With the blood of Ibrahim, the one with the virtues
Ahmad did not kiss the stones as a worshipper *** And he is the one who smashed the head of al-Lat
But it is reviving the memory of a messenger *** The builder of the foundations and the raiser of the terraces
Etiquette of the descendants toward their ancestors *** Their recognition of the favor and the nearness
The Companions knew what their Prophet intended *** And he is the obeyed in his command, the verses
They said: We obey our Prophet in the Sunnah *** With our ignorance of the reality of the goals
A stone we kiss, it does not harm, and only *** We choose the methodology of the model of models
A stone from the Gardens comes as a witness *** On the Day of Resurrection, truthful in its speech
And so is the Qur'an, the best debater *** For every reciter seeking good deeds
O owner of the great House, be gentle *** With the sectarians and the shedders of tears
They came to you scooping abundant favor *** And they came from the horizons nearly naked
They humbled themselves for the majesty of their Lord and touched *** The House and supplicated with every distress
So bestow favor on the supplicants and accept their excuse *** And open for them the branches of blessings
We do not hope for a Lord other than You, for we *** Are holding fast to a rope of salvation"

If the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) defiled it at some time *** Then Muhammad, without doubt, is coming to them
