Translation

I sing for Mecca and her proud people and the festival of Eid has filled my heart with joy

Full of happiness, their houses shine like the splendour of the house of God (Kaaba).

And in the name of God, their buildings stretch out like the stars in the sky

Oh readers of the Qu'ran, pray for them and bring the essence of beauty to the desert

On your knees and with your hands raised, their prayers will be answered

Everywhere where one prays, heaven receives and God gives his blessing.

If a grain of sand sang its happiness with the day to its creator, then it would be the string plucked to make music.

The sound of the pilgrims to Mecca has become louder with prayer, let us sing with my voice

In the joy of this festive day of Eid that God will be generous and grant to them only what is good, whatever their kind or colour

Do not let the soil or the straw dry without making it green so that it smells good

God, that soil is like a flower and it is you who are destined to gather it before pulling it up

And the beauty of your face brings hope and dreams, all is nothing before your creation
