In the sacred land of Makkah

In the sacred land where dreams ascend,Where pilgrims embark, their souls to mend,In the realm of Hajj, where hearts unite,A journey divine, in the realm of light.

With ihram draped, a white cloak so pure,They walk together, in steps secure,Through the desert’s heat and arid sand,In pursuit of blessings, they faithfully stand. Makkah, the sanctuary, a sight
