صورتی کو فاخر و عالی بود ** او ز بیت الله کی خالی بود

او بود حاضر منزه از رتاج ** باقی مردم برای احتیاج

هیچ می‌گویند کین لبیکها ** بی‌ندایی می‌کنیم آخر چرا 870
Do they (the pilgrims) ever say, ‘We are crying Labbayka without (receiving) any response. Pray, why (is this)’?

Nay, the Divine blessing which causes (their cries of) Labbayka is (in truth) a response (coming) from the One (God) at every moment.
من ببو دانم که این قصر و سرا ** بزم جان افتاد و خاکش کیمیا

تا بجوشد زین چنین ضرب سحور ** در درافشانی و بخشایش به حور
That, from (my) playing the sahúr tune in this fashion, the seas (of Divine mercy) may surge (and be roused) to scatter (their) pearls and (lavish their) bounty.
خلق در صف قتال و کارزار ** جان همی‌بازند بهر کردگار 875
