بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
liīlāfi qurayshin
For the accustomed security of the Quraysh -
īlāfihim riḥ'lata l-shitāi wal-ṣayfi
Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer -
falyaʿbudū rabba hādhā l-bayti
Let them worship the Lord of this House,
alladhī aṭʿamahum min jūʿin waāmanahum min khawfin
Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear.
