Harful Yaai · حرف الياء

يَمَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ طَـــهَ الْمُقَدَّسَـــا
عَنِ النِّدِّ وَالْأَضْدَادِ أَصْلاً مُؤَسَّسَا

Yamamtu Rasūla Allāhi Ṭāha al-muqaddasā
‘Ani al-niddi wa al-aḍdādi aṣlan mu’assasā

I have turned toward the Messenger of Allah, Taha, the sanctified, whose origin was established far above any peer or opposite.

رَسُولٌ وَأَصْلُ النَّاسِ مَاءٌ وَجَنْدَلٌ
فَلاَ إِنْسَ فِي ذَاكَ الزَّمَانِ مُؤَنِّسَـــــا

Rasūlun wa aṣlu al-nāsi mā’un wa jandalun
Fa-lā insa fī dhāka al-zamāni mu’annisā

He was a Messenger even when the origin of mankind was but water and stone, and there was no human then to keep company.

تَطَوَّرَ فِي الْأَطْوَارِ فِي كُلِّ هَيْكَلٍ
وَحَتَّى بَدَا لِلنَّاسِ قَرْمًا مُقَدَّسَـــا

Taṭawwura fī al-aṭwāri fī kulli haykalin
Wa ḥattā badā li-l-nāsi qarman muqaddasā

He evolved through the various stages in every spiritual form until he appeared to mankind as a sanctified leader.

وَجَاءَ بِأَمْرِ اللّٰهِ يَدْعُو مُبَشِّـــرًا
نَذِيرًا شَكُورًا ذَاكِرًا وَمُقَدِّسَــا

Wa jā’a bi-amri Allāhi yad‘ū mubashshirā
Nadhīran shakūran dhākiran wa muqaddisā

He came by the command of Allah, calling as a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, a grateful one, a rememberer, and a sanctifier.

هَدَى اللّٰهُ أَقْوَامًا قَفَوْهُ أَجِلَّةً
وَضَلَّلَ قَوْمًا قَدْ قَلَوْهُ وَطَمَّسَا

Hadā Allāhu aqwāman qafawhu ajillatan
Wa ḍallala qawman qad qalawhu wa ṭammisā

Allah guided those illustrious people who followed him and led astray those who detested him and became blinded.

أَلاَ فَاذْكُرِ الصِّدِّيقَ ثَانِي حَبِيبِنَا
فَقَدْ أَنْفَقَ الْأَمْوَالَ عَمَّرَ أَنْفُسَا

Alā fa-dhkur al-Ṣiddīqa thānī ḥabībinā
Fa-qad anfaqa al-amwāla ‘ammara anfusā

Remember the Truthful One (Abu Bakr), the second of our two beloveds in the cave, for he spent his wealth and edified souls.

وَهَرْوِلْ إِلَى ذِكْرِ السِّرَاجِ مَلاَذِنَا
وَذَا عُمَرُ الْفَارُوقُ مَنْ لَمْ يُوَسْوِسَا

Wa harwil ilā dhikri al-sirāji malādhinā
Wa dhā ‘Umaru al-Fārūqu man lam yuwaswīsā

Hasten to the remembrance of the Lamp, our refuge—Umar the Faruq, the one who never wavered or succumbed to whispers.

وَثَلِّثْ بِذِي النُّورَيْنِ عُثْمَانَ مَادِحًا
فَقَدْ بَدَّدَ الْأَمْوَالَ فِـــي اللّٰهِ مُنْفِسَا

Wa thallith bi-dhī al-nūrayni ‘Uthmāna mādiḥan
Fa-qad baddada al-amwāla fī Allāhi munfisā

Mention thirdly the Possessor of the Two Lights, Uthman, in praise, for he spent his vast wealth for the sake of Allah most generously.

وَحِبِّي وَزِيرِ الْبَدْرِ بَابِ عُلُومِـــهِ
عَلِيٍّ أَبِي السِّبْطَيْنِ لَيْثًا مُقَلْنِسَــــــا

Wa ḥibbī wazīri al-badri bāba ‘ulūmihi
‘Aliyyin abī al-sibṭayni laythan muqalnisā

And mention my beloved, the minister of the Full Moon and the gate to his sciences—Ali, the father of the two grandsons, a crowned lion.

بِجَاهِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَالصَّحْبِ جُمْلَةً
فَنَفِّسْ كُرُوبِي نَفِّسِ الْكَرْبَ نَفِّسَا

Bi-jāhi Rasūli Allāhi wa al-ṣaḥbi jumlatan
Fa-naffis kurūbī naffisi al-karba naffisā

By the rank of the Messenger of Allah and all the companions together, relieve my anxieties, relieve my distress, relieve it now.

صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ عَلَيْــــــهِ بِقَـــدْرِهِ
مَعَ الْآلِ وَالْأَصْحَابِ مِمَّنْ تَقَدَّسَا

Ṣalātun wa taslīmun ‘alayhi bi-qadrihī
Ma‘a al-āli wa al-aṣḥābi mimman taqaddasā

Prayers and salutations be upon him according to his immense worth, along with the family and the companions among those who were sanctified.
