A Heart's lament

O Kaabah, House of my Lord,
O The Right Hand of my Lord,
When will I lay my eyes upon you again?
When will I be able do my tawaf around you?

O most sacred of Lands,

O Birthplace of my Prophet s.a.w.,
Will I be able to follow in the footsteps of the Friend of Allah and the Beloved of Allah?
Will I be able to follow in the footsteps of the Sahabi and the Tabi'in?

My heart longs to be in their company,
And my soul longs for the Pleasure of its Lord.
Therefore, O Lord, grant my request to be your guest,
This ungrateful, unworthy slave of Yours!
