PETITION, by                    
First Line: Kaaba of the generous hand
Last Line: Who in your own mecca dwell.


Kaaba of the generous hand,
Shrine of bounty and delight,
Sought by Syrian Arab, and
Turkish Ghuzz, and Dailamite!

Blessed pilgrims, who e'en now
Blithely circumambulate
Round your Holy House, and bow
Supplicating at your gate.

Strange it is that they, who hail
From far Syria, fare so well
To behold you, where we fail
Who in your own Mecca dwell.
