**1.** دَعَانِيَ مِنْ تَذْكَارِ سَلْمَى وَتَنْـــدَمِ / فَإِنَّ جَمَالَ الْهَاشِمِــــي مُتَرَدَّمِـــي

_Daʿāniya min tadhkāri Salmā wa-Tandami / fa-inna jamāla al-Hāshimiyyi mutaraddamī_

Leave me be from the remembrance of Salma and Tandam, for the beauty of the Hashemite is my sanctuary and refuge.

**2.** إِذَا أَطْرَبَ الْأَقْوَامَ مَلْهًى وَمَطْمَعٌ / طَرِبْتُ بِذِكْرِ الْهَاشِمِـــيِّ الْمُكَــرَّمِ

_Idhā aṭraba al-aqwāma malhan wa-maṭmaʿun / ṭaribtu bi-dhikri al-Hāshimiyyi al-mukarrami_

When amusement and worldly desire delight other peoples, I find my delight in the remembrance of the honored Hashemite.

**3.** أَنِيسِي إِذَا أَخْلُـــــوا جَمَالُ مُحَمَّدٍ / حَبِيبِ إِلَــهِ الْعَالَمِيـــــنَ الْمُعَظَّـــمِ

_Anīsī idhā akhlaw jamālu Muḥammadin / ḥabībi ilāhi al-ʿālamīna al-muʿaẓẓami_

My companion when I am alone is the beauty of Muhammad, the exalted beloved of the God of the worlds.

**4.** فَـعَبْدٌ تَجَلَّـــى سَيِّدَ الْكَـــوْنِ يَـــا لَهُ / تَحَيَّرَ فِيـــهِ خَاطِــــرُ الْمُتَجَمْجِـــمِ

_Fa-ʿabdun tajallā sayyida al-kawni yā lahu / taḥayyara fīhi khāṭiru al-mutajamjimi_

What a servant he is, who appeared as the master of the universe! The thoughts of the most eloquent thinkers are bewildered by him.

**5.** خَوَارِقُهُ يُعْيِي الْعَوَالِـــمَ حَصْرُهَـا / وَمَا نَاسَبَتْ قَدْرًا لِطَـــهَ الْمُقَـــدَّمِ

_Khawāriquhu yuʿyī al-ʿawālima ḥaṣruhā / wa-mā nāsabat qadran li-Ṭāhā al-muqaddami_

The counting of his miracles exhausts the worlds, yet even they do not fully match the true measure of the foremost Taha.

**6.** كَفَى مَا أَتَى لِلْأَنْبِيَا مِنْ خَــــوَارِقٍ / وَمَا لاَحَ لِلْأَصْحَابِ فِي كُلِّ مَلْحَمِ

_Kafā mā atā lil-anbiyā min khawāriqin / wa-mā lāḥa lil-aṣḥābi fī kulli malḥami_

Sufficient are the miracles given to the prophets, and that which appeared to the companions in every fierce battle.

**7.** فَمَوْلِــــدُهُ أَعْظِــمْ بِــهِ وَعُلُومُــهُ / وَإِسْرَاؤُهُ بَعْــدَ الْجَمَـــالِ الْمُفَخَّــمِ

_Fa-mawliduhu aʿẓim bihi wa-ʿulūmuhu / wa-isrā’uhu baʿda al-jamāli al-mufakhkhami_

How great is his birth and his vast sciences, and his Night Journey following his majestic beauty.

**8.** وَأَخْلاَقُــهُ عَـــدْلاً وَلِينًــا وَشِـدَّةً / وَعِلْمًا وَجُودًا وَاتِّقَـا كُـــلِّ مَأْثَــمِ

_Wa-akhlāquhu ʿadlan wa-līnan wa-shiddatan / wa-ʿilman wa-jūdan wa-ttiqā kulli ma’thami_

And his character: in justice, gentleness, and firmness; in knowledge, generosity, and the shunning of every sin.

**9.** وَمَا ضَلَّ طَـهَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ وَمَا غَوَى / فَسُورَةَ وَالنَّجْـــــمِ اتْلُــوَنْ وَتَفَهَّــمِ

_Wa-mā ḍalla Ṭāhā al-Hāshimiyyu wa-mā ghawā / fa-sūrata wa-l-najmi t-luwan wa-tafahhami_

The Hashemite Taha did not stray, nor was he deceived; so recite Surah al-Najm and seek to understand.

**10.** تَرَى الْمُصْطَفَى ظَهْرًا وَبَطْنًا وَتَظْفَرَنْ / بِسِــــرٍّ مِـــنْ أَسْـــــرَارِ الْإِلَـــهِ مُكَتَّــــمِ

_Tarā al-Muṣṭafā ẓahran wa-baṭnan wa-taẓfaran / bi-sirrin min asrāri al-ilāhi mukattami_

You will see the Chosen One, inwardly and outwardly, and you will triumph with a hidden secret from the secrets of God.

**11.** تَرَى مَا حَمَانِــي النَّـوْمَ بِالشَّـــوْقِ مُنْشِدًا / "أَلاَ عِــمْ صَبَاحًا أَيُّهَــا الرَّبْعُ وَاسْلَــمِ"

_Tarā mā ḥamānī al-nawma bi-sh-shawqi munshidan / "Alā ʿim ṣabāḥan ayyuha al-rabʿu wa-slami"_

You will see what kept me from sleep, as I sing in longing: "O dwellings, may you have a good morning and be in peace."

**12.** تَـــرَى مَنْظَـــرًا هَـــامَ الْفُـــؤَادُ بِحُبِّـــهِ / فَيُسْلِيــــكَ عَــنْ لَيْلَــى وَمَيْلَـى وَتَنْـدَمِ

_Tarā manẓaran hāma al-fu’ādu bi-ḥubbihi / fa-yuslīka ʿan Laylā wa-Maylā wa-Tandami_

You will see a sight for whose love the heart wanders, which will console you for Layla, Mayla, and Tandam—

**13.** وَهِنْــــدٍ وَدَعْــدٍ أَوْ سُلَيْمَـى وَزَيْنَــبٍ / وَفَاطِـــمَ أَوْ سَلْمَــى أَوْ أَسْمَـا وَمَرْيَـمِ

_Wa-Hindin wa-Daʿdin aw Sulaymā wa-Zaynabin / wa-Fāṭima aw Salmā aw Asmā wa-Maryami_

And Hind, Da'd, Sulayma, and Zainab; and Fatima, Salma, Asma, and Maryam.

**14.** وَقُلْ لِمُلُوكِ الْأَرْضِ نَامَـــتْ عُيُونُهُــمْ / وَهَــا ذَاكَ مُلْــكٌ لاَ يُبَــاعُ بِدِرْهَــــــمِ

_Wa-qul li-mulūki al-arḍi nāmat ʿuyūnuhum / wa-hā dhāka mulkun lā yubāʿu bi-dirhami_

And say to the kings of the earth whose eyes have slept: Behold, this is a kingdom that cannot be sold for a single dirham.

**15.** دَعَا الْخَلْـــقَ لِلْمَــوْلَى فَمِنْــهُ مُصَــدِّقٌ / وَمِنْهُ جَـــحُودٌ كَــافِـــرٌ لَـــمْ يُسَلِّــــمِ

_Daʿā al-khalqa lil-Mawlā fa-minhu muṣaddiqun / wa-minhu jaḥūdun kāfirun lam yusallimi_

He called creation to the Lord; among them were those who believed, and among them the ungrateful disbeliever who did not submit.

**16.** فَفَـــرَّقَ أَجْنَــــــادَ الْكَتَائِـــــبِ فِيهِـــمُ / يَــــذُوبُ لِأَسْيَــافٍ لَهُــمْ كُـلُّ مِخْــذَمِ

_Fa-farraqa ajnāda al-katā’ibi fīhimu / yadhūbu li-asyāfin lahum kullu mikhdhami_

So he dispersed the ranks of the battalions among them; every sharp sword melted before their blades.

**17.** تَرَاهُـمْ كَأَنَّ الْمَـــوْتَ فِيهِــمْ حَيَاتُهُــمْ / وَأَقْدَمُهُـــــمْ خَيْــرُ الْــوَرَى بِتَبَسُّـــمِ

_Tarāhum ka-anna al-mawta fīhim ḥayātuhum / wa-aqdamuhum khayru al-warā bi-tabassumi_

You see them as if death to them were their very life, while the Best of Mankind leads them forward with a smile.

**18.** إِذَا مَا وَطِيسٌ قَدْ حَمِي لَيْسَ قَائِمًا / مَقَامَكَ شَفْرٌ وَسْطَ جَيْشٍ عَرَمْرَمِ

_Idhā mā waṭīsun qad ḥamiya laysa qā’iman / maqāmaka shafrun wasṭa jayshin ʿaramrami_

When the "oven of war" (Al-Watis) heats up, no blade can stand in your place amidst a massive army.

**19.** فَأَشْجَـــعُ خَلْــقِ اللّٰهِ طَـــهَ مُحَمَّــــدٌ / وَأَسْخَاهُمُ نَفْسًـــا لَدَى كُــلِّ مَغْنَــمِ

_Fa-ashjaʿu khalqi Allāhi Ṭāhā Muḥammadun / wa-askhāhumu nafsan ladā kulli maghnami_

For the bravest of Allah’s creation is Taha Muhammad, and the most generous of soul when any spoils are gathered.

**20.** فَأَقْلِـــــلْ بِدُنْيَــا النَّاسِ عِنْــدَ نَبِيِّنَــا / فَسِيَّانِ وَقْتُ الْوَجْـدِ أَوْ وَقْتُ مَعْـدَمِ

_Fa-aqlil bi-dunyā al-nāsi ʿinda nabiyyinā / fa-siyyāni waqtu al-wajdi aw waqtu maʿdami_

How insignificant is the world of men compared to our Prophet; for him, a time of finding is the same as a time of lacking.

**21.** فَيُعْطِي وَلاَ يُبْقِي وَغَيْــرَ مُنَقِّـصٍ / تَرَى عَكَرًا يُعْطِـــي بِوَجْـهٍ مُقَسَّــمِ

_Fa-yuʿṭī wa-lā yubqī wa-ghayra munaqqiṣin / tarā ʿakaran yuʿṭī bi-wajhin muqassami_

He gives and keeps nothing back, without ever diminishing; you see him giving abundance with a radiant, joyful face.

**22.** أَتَيْتُكَ يَـــا خَيْـــرَ الْبَرِيَّـــةِ أَبْتَغِــي / مَنَالاً جَسِيمًـا مِــنْ جَـــوَادٍ مُقَسِّــمِ

_Ataytuka yā khayra al-bariyyati abtaghī / manālan jasīman min jawādin muqassimi_

I have come to you, O Best of Creation, seeking a massive favor from a generous distributor.

**23.** وَتَعْلَمُ حَاجَــــاتِ الْعُبَيْــدِ جَمِيعَهَــا / أَرَانِي اسْتَلَمْتُ الْكُلَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَسْلَمِ

_Wa-taʿlamu ḥājāti al-ʿubaydi jamīʿahā / arāni stalamtu al-kulla min khayri maslami_

And you know all the needs of this little servant; I see that I have received everything from the best of sources.

**24.** عَلَيْــهِ صَـلاَةُ اللّٰهِ مَـا حَـنَّ عَاشِــقٌ / وَمَا نِيلَ حَاجَــاتٌ بِطَــهَ الْمُكَــرَّمِ

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi mā ḥanna ʿāshiqun / wa-mā nīla ḥājātun bi-Ṭāhā al-mukarrami_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah as long as a lover yearns, and as long as needs are fulfilled through the honored Taha.

**25.** وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَــــــابٍ كِــرَامٍ أَجِلَّــةٍ / نُجُومِ الْـهُـدَى فِي كُلِّ بَـدْءٍ وَمَخْتَــمِ

_Wa-ālin wa-aṣḥābin kirāmin ajillatin / nujūmi al-hudā fī kulli bad’in wa-makhtami_

And upon his Family and noble, illustrious Companions—the stars of guidance in every beginning and every end.
