MIQAT
Performing Hajj to Baitullah
To depart with nafsu ‘l-muthmainah
To accomplish Thawaf, sorrounding the Ka’bah
Attending Allah’s call
Mecca city is the main purpose
Where the Baitullah is laying down
The Holy place full of ‘barakah’
A Guidence for all of the human being
When you reach the Miqat
Be a full of persistent person
Having a drive the complete the aim
Closer and more, to Allah
Miqat is the start of Hajj
Leaving the daily clothes and attributes
Deliberate the egoisme
For the only Allah Almightiness
that’s the core of Hajj
Put down our foot in Miqat
The start of journey to the hereafter
Wearing Ihram like a corpse
Intending Umroh after praying
THAWAF
Arrival in the Holy Land
Everyone begin to be quite
Praying in the peaceful heart
Straigh forward to Masjid ‘l-haram
When Ka’bah appears, prayer is uphold
Baitullah stands in the majesty existence
The kindness for the glorified
Upholding honour
Ka’bah is the direction of standing aim
Eight corners and six sides
The meaningfull blackstone
The symbol of Allah Greatness
When performing Thawaf around Ka’bah
Every one submerge in the ocean of silence
They are in the whole similarities
A symbole of the essence of life
Stride along approaching the Ka’bah
Thrab of the heart in the breast
Tears drop over the wrinkled cheeks
Feeling the presence of His Highness
All move direct to the only one object
Pushed by the pulses of heartbeating
Never backward even one step
Flowing away goes to the sea
Bowed down in the orbit
Dissolved in the power of love
Releasing the egoism
There is only Allah in the mind
Saying: ‘Bismillahi Allahu Akbar’
It begin with the step of the right leg
Concentrated in praying
A movement drived by the full faith
SA’I
Sa’i will be started from the top of Hill Shafa
the ending is Hill Marwa
Running from one hill to another
Tracing the same path
It simbolizes the persistence of effort
Hajar will not give up at all
Each step is hopefull
Ismail is thirsty
He needs a drop of water
Shafa is a starting point of a holy intentions
Sa’i is a hard effort on our own foot
Run and run away to catch the aim
Marwa is a satisfaction of trust in God
Zamzam, the holy water, is flowing out
Overcome the thirsty after Sa’I
Water the source of subsistance on the earth
How great Allah compassion for us
Thundering of zamzam in the desert
Flowing under Ismail’s foot
Here, the seeking of subsistane is complete
While drinking, he remembers Allah in his mind and heart
The brain become bright
and the heart become clear
The veil is unvarnishedly
and the faith is growing up
Come in to brightness and beauty
Full of blessing and glory
WUQUF : JUMRAH
Labbaik Allahumma labbaika
( Here I am, and I am at Your service)
Get alonh the step forward
Heart feeling over troubled water
Linkaged one another makes the beauty better
Leaving Ka’bah straight to Arafah
A symbol of the first life creation
A trace of Adam and Eva’s love
That is a sign of the first knowledge
Umrah is ended, and Haji is started
Walking together in the crowds to Arafah
Drop in Muzdalifah for a moment
Executing Jumrah in Mina
Back to Mecca performing Thawaf Ifadhah
A sequence of worship is complete
It’s followed by visiting Madinah
Arbain praying and visiting Rasulullah’s grave
Back to the country, to meet the family
Embraced by tears of happiness
Cradled by the sound from beyond above :
‘Al-hajju ‘l-mabruur laisa lauhu ‘l-jazaa’ illaa ‘l-jannah’.
