The greatest journey,
Illuminating visages,
Brotherhood and unity,
Covered in their garments,
A sense of purity,
Moving smoothly along,
In close proximity.
Bodies assembled to worship,
Moving about peacefully,
Moving in sync,
Full of activity

The greatest journey,<br />
Illuminating visages,<br />
Brotherhood and unity,</p>
<p align="center">Covered in their garments,<br />
A sense of purity,<br />
Moving smoothly along,<br />
In close proximity.</p>
<p align="center">Bodies assembled to worship,<br />
Moving about peacefully,<br />
Moving in sync,<br />
Full of activity</p>
<p align="center">The House of Allah,<br />
And amazing beauty!<br />
An honor to be there,<br />
Oh, what a sight to see!</p>
<p align="center">A physical challenge,<br />
A strange burst of energy,<br />
Traveling in order,<br />
In constant uniformity,</p>
<p align="center">The voice of a child,<br />
Reciting so beautifully,<br />
With the Qur’an in his hands,<br />
Looking so seriously,</p>
<p align="center">The recitation of Al-Sodais,<br />
Heard so very clearly,<br />
Echoing through Makkah,<br />
Reverberating through the city,</p>
<p align="center">In Holy Zamzam water,<br />
Bathing jubilantly,<br />
Cleansing their very souls,<br />
Letting their sins go free.</p>
<p align="center">Praising Allah,<br />
Praising constantly,<br />
Here I am, Oh Lord,<br />
Praising communally.</p>
