و بعد أن كانت مكانا للعبادة الله الأحد

تحولت بمرور الزمن إلى معبد للأصنام

تتوزع أصنام الخشبية والحجرية في شوارع مكة

المشاة يعبرون الشوارع و يمشون على الأرصفة

و لتأمين الرزق اليومي لأهل مكة

فيزون الكعبة ويقدمون القرابين للآلهة

و لم يكن هناك سواء شخص واحد بين هؤلاء القوم

لا زال موحدا يعبد الله الواحد الأحد

و هو عبدالمطلب من سلالة نبي إبراهيم
