الْمَقَامَةُ الْبَرْقَعِيدِيَّةُ

Al-Harith bin Hammam narrated, saying

Hárìsù ọmọ Hammam sọ̀rọ̀, ó wí pé

I resolved to depart from Barqa'id

Mo pinnu láti kúrò ní Barka'id

And I had glimpsed the lightning of a festival

Mo sì ti rí mọ̀nàmọ́ná àjọ̀dún kan

So I disliked departing from that city

Nítorí náà, mo kò láti kúrò ní ìlú náà

Until I witness there the day of adornment

Títí má fi rìí ọjọ́ ọ̀ṣọ́ níbẹ̀

When it approached with its obligatory and voluntary [rituals]

Nígbà tí ó súnmọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìṣe dandan àti àtinúwá rẹ̀

And it advanced with its cavalry and infantry

Tí ó sì ń tẹ̀síwájú pẹ̀lú àwọn ológun ẹlẹ́ṣin àti ẹlẹ́sẹ̀ rẹ̀

I followed the tradition in wearing new clothes

Mo tẹ̀lé àṣà ní wíwọ aṣọ tuntun

And I went out with those who went out for the festival

Mo sì jáde pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó jáde fún àjọ̀dún náà

And when the congregation of the prayer ground gathered and organized

Nígbà tí àwùjọ ibi àdúrà kójọpọ̀ tí wọ́n sì fara balẹ
