Harful Hamza · حرف الهمزة

From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass

قَلِيلُ وِدَادِ الْعَبْدِ فِيـكَ صَفَـــــاءُ
وَمَدْحُكَ مِنْ دَاءِ الْقُلُوبِ شِفَاءُ

Qalīlu widādil ‘abdi fīka ṣafā’u
Wa madḥuka min dā’il qulūbi shifā’u

Even a little of a servant’s love for you is pure clarity, And praising you is a cure for the diseases of the heart.

وَذِكْرُكَ يَا خَيْرَ الْأَنَامِ غَنِيمَـةٌ
وَلِلْمُبْتَغِي الْعَلْيَا سَنًا وَسَنَــاءُ

Wa dhikruka yā khayral anāmi ghanīmatun
Wa lilmubtaghil ‘alyā sanan wa sanā’u

Mentioning you, O Best of Mankind, is a great prize, And for the seeker of high stations, it is light and brilliance.

فَإِنَّكَ يَا يَاسِينُ طَـــهَ مُحَمَّـــــدٌ
أَتَاكَ مِنَ الْمَوْلَى الْجَلِيلِ ثَنَـــاءُ

Fa’innaka yā Yāsīnu Ṭāhā Muḥammadun
Atāka minal Mawlal Jalīli thanā’u

For you are Yasin, Taha, and Muhammad; Praise has come to you from the Majestic Lord.

وَقَدْ خَضَعَ الْعَرْشُ الْمَجِيدُ لِوَطْأَةٍ
فَإِنَّكَ فَـــــوْقَ الْكَائِنَــــاتِ سَمَـــاءُ

Wa qad khada‘al ‘arshul majīdu liwaṭ’atin
Fa’innaka fawqal kā’ināti samā’u

The Glorious Throne humbled itself for your footstep, For you are a heaven above all created beings.

وَصَلَّتْ بِكَ الْأَرْسَالُ وَالْكُلُّ خَادِمٌ
مِنَ الْحَضْرَةِ الْعُلْيَا أَتَـــــاهُ عَـــلاَءُ

Wa ṣallat bikal arsālu wal kullu khādimun
Minal ḥaḍratil ‘ulyā atāhu ‘alā’u

The Messengers prayed behind you and all are your servants; Exaltation came to them from the Most High Presence.

خَدِيمُكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَطْمَعُ فِيــــكَ يَــــا
كَرِيمــاً بِـــهِ لِلْأَنْبِيَـــــاءِ عَطَــــاءُ

Khadīmuka Ibrāhīmu yaṭma‘u fīka yā
Karīman bihi lil anbiyā’i ‘aṭā’u

Your servant Ibrahim places his hopes in you, O Generous One, through whom the Prophets received their gifts.

وَأَنْتَ مُحِيطٌ بِالشُّؤُونِ فَـــلاَ أُرَى
أَنُصُّ عَلَى الْحَاجَاتِ مِنْكَ غَنَـــاءُ

Wa anta muḥīṭun bish-shu’ūni falā urā
Anuṣṣu ‘alal ḥājāti minka ghanā’u

You are aware of all affairs, so I do not see A need to list my requirements, for you are my sufficiency.

عَلَيْكَ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــــمَّ سَــــلاَمُهُ
صَلاَةً بِهَــــا يَنْفَــــــكُّ عَنْهُ غِطَاءُ

‘Alayka ṣalātullāhi thumma salāmuhū
Ṣalātan bihā yanfakku ‘anhu ghiṭā’u

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and His peace; A prayer by which the veil is lifted from him.

عَلَيْكَ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ
بِهَا يَنْجَلِي الظَّلْمَا وَنِيــلَ حِبَـــاءُ

‘Alayka ṣalātullāhi thumma salāmuhū
Bihā yanjalīẓ-ẓalmā wa nīla ḥibā’u

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and His peace; By which the darkness is dispelled and gifts are attained.

عَلَيْكَ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ
مَعَ الْآلِ طُرًّا مَنْ حَوَتْـــهُ عَبَـــاءُ

‘Alayka ṣalātullāhi thumma salāmuhū
Ma‘al āli ṭurran man ḥawat-hu ‘abā’u

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and His peace; Along with all your Family, whom the Cloak encompassed.
