And an inner life Kaaba

And the temple of the heart.
Looking for love
In the temple of the heart. "

And the Kaaba of the heart.

The other is the secret place
Discover that the Seekers

Fills the eyes of the faithful;
The other is found only by the devout
Under the gaze of Allah himself.

It is a matter of formal discipline.

It depends on the grace of Allah.
"In one, the pilgrims drink water
Zam-Zam;
Fountains flowing with the other
By springing the sighs.

It is guarded by the mountain of 'Arfat,
The temple of the heart
You are radiant with the light of Allah.

And if his vision encourages the downhearted
There is no reason for me to despair. "
