**1.** دَعَانِيَ مِنْ سَلْمَى وَلَيْلَى وَقَلِّلاَ / تَذَكُّرَ رَبَّاتِ الْغَدَائِرِ مُسْجَــــــلاَ

_Da‘ānīya min Salmā wa Laylā wa qallilā / Tadhakkura Rabbāti l-ghadā’iri musjallā_

Leave me be from Salma and Layla, and cease mentioning the ladies with long tresses altogether.

**2.** لِذِكْرِ الَّذِي مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ تِيبَ قَبْلَهُ / عَلَى آدَمٍ إِذْ كَانَ فَرْعًا مُؤَصَّلاَ

_Li-dhikri lladhī min dhikrihī tība qabla-hu / ‘Alā Ādama idh kāna far‘an mu’aṣṣalā_

**3.** لِذِكْرِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْحَـقُّ غَيْــــرَهُ / مَدَى الدَّهْرِ وَالْأَيَّامِ خَيْرَ مَنْ أُرْسِلاَ

**4.** لِذِكْرِ الَّذِي تَعْرُو فُؤَادِيَ هِـــزَّةٌ / لَدَى ذِكْرِهِ وَالْقَلْبُ صَارَ مُقَتَّــلاَ

_Li-dhikri lladhī ta‘rū fu’ādī hizzatun / Ladā dhikrihī wa l-qalbu ṣāra muqattalā_

Mention the one for whom my heart is seized with a tremor upon his mention, while my heart has become slain by love.

**5.** لِذِكْرِ الَّذِي طَابَ الْجِنَانُ بِنَشْرِهِ / وَمِنْهُ ضِيَاءُ الْبَدْرِ بَدْراً مُكَمَّـلاَ

_Li-dhikri lladhī ṭāba l-janānu bi-nashrihī / Wa minhu ḍiyā’u l-badri badran mukammalā_

Mention the one through whose fragrance the gardens became sweet, and from whom the full moon derives its perfect light.

**6.** فَلَوْلاَهُ لاَ تُلْفِي لَيَـــــــادًا فَإِنَّــــهُ / لَبَذْرَةُ هَذَا الْكَوْنِ إِذْ كَانَ مُرْسَلاَ

_Fa-lawlāhu lā tulfī layādan fa-innahū / Labadhratu hādhā l-kawni idh kāna mursalā_

Were it not for him, you would find no refuge; for he is the very seed of this universe when he was sent.

**7.** وَلَوْلاَهُ لاَ أَرْضَى حَيَاتِي بِلَحْظَـةٍ / فَحَيٌّ بِغَيْرِ الْمُصْطَفَى الْبَدْرِ أُهْمِلاَ

_Wa lawlāhu lā arḍā ḥayātī bi-laḥẓatin / Fa-ḥayyūn bi-ghayri l-muṣṭafā l-badri uhmlā_

Were it not for him, I would not be satisfied with my life for a single moment; for a life without the Chosen Full Moon is wasted.

**8.** وَمَنْ بِصِفَاتِ الْمُصْطَفَى آلَ كُلُّهُ / حَيَاةً وَمَوْتًا نَالَ عِــــزًّا مُبَجَّــلاَ

_Wa man bi-ṣifāti l-muṣṭafā āla kulluhū / Ḥayātan wa mawta-n nāla ‘izzan mubajjalā_

And whoever attaches himself entirely to the attributes of the Chosen One, in life and in death, attains a magnificent glory.

**9.** مَآثِرُ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ غَيْـــرُ مُحَصَّــرٍ / فَقُلْ فِيهِ مَا قَدْ شِئْتَ عَبْدًا مُفَضَّلاَ

_Ma’āthiru khayri l-khalqi ghayru muḥaṣṣarin / Fa-qul fīhi mā qad shi’ta ‘abdan mufaḍḍalā_

_Wa taj‘alunā li-l-muttaqīna a’immatan / Ilā abadi l-ābādi sayban murassalā_

And make us leaders for the God-fearing, until the end of time, like a continuously flowing stream of goodness.

**12.** وَلَيِّنْ صُخُورَ الْمَارِدِينَ وَهُدَّهَا / وَقَوِّ يَقِينَ الْمُقْتَفِينَ ذَوِي الْعُــــلاَ

_Wa layyin ṣukhūra l-māridīna wa huddahā / Wa qawwi yaqīna l-muqtafīna dhawi l-‘ulā_

Soften the rocks of the rebellious and demolish them, and strengthen the certainty of the followers who possess high rank.

**13.** وَأَغْنِ فَقِيرَ الْمُنْتَمِيــنَ لِحِزْبِنَـــا / وَنَجِّ جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنِ ابْتِـــلاَ

_Turqīhimū yā Rabbī bi-sh-shukri dā’iman / Fa innaka maljā al-‘ājizīna mujallalā_

O Lord, You whose army is always victorious, even if their own opinions are weak, O Object of Hope.

**16.** لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَالشُّكْرُ الْمُسَرْمَدُ دَائِمًا / فَلَمْ يَخْشَ مَنْ يَلْجَـا إِلَيكَ تَوَكُّـــلاَ

_Laka l-ḥamdu wa sh-shukru l-musarmadu dā’iman / Fa-lam yakhsha man yalja’ ilayka tawakkulā_

To You belongs all praise and eternal gratitude forever; for he who takes refuge in You with trust never fears.

**17.** صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ عَلَى طَــــهَ أَحْمَــدٍ / وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ وَمَنْ كَانَ مُرْسَلاَ

_Ṣalātun wa taslīmun ‘alā Ṭāhā Aḥmadin / Wa ālin wa aṣḥābin wa man kāna mursalā_

Blessings and peace be upon Taha Ahmad, and his family, his companions, and all who were sent.
