I left the Roman land apace,

A candle I became that melted.

Blessed be God that I could there bow my head,

Lord Apostle, how fair were the ways of the Kaabah.

The moon rose as I started on the road,

I chanted benedictions.

Oh come with me, let us wander together,

Lord Apostle, how fair were the ways of the Kaabah.

The peaks come close;

Fain would one drink a drop, for it is hot.

The man who dies on the wayside has no mourner,

Lord Apostle, how fair were the ways of the Kaabah.

The mountains tower over the Kaabah,

The spring that saw the Epiphany ever flows.

Yunus the loving remembers and weeps,

Lord Apostle, how fair were the ways of the Kaabah.15
