Harful Hamza · حَرْفُ الْهَمْزَةِ

قِرَايَ لَدَى الْمَاحِـي قُبَيْــلَ حِبَائِــي
قَبُولِي وَتَطْهِيرِي وَرَفْعُ غِطَائِــي

Qirāya lada al-Māḥī qubayla ḥibā’ī
Qabūlī wa-taṭhīrī wa-raf‘u ghiṭā’ī

My hospitality in the presence of the Eraser, before my reward, is my acceptance, my purification, and the lifting of my veil.

وَيُثْبِتُنِي فِــي الْخَادِمِيــنَ حَظِيَّهُــمْ
وَيَقْبَـــلُ أَمْدَاحِـــــي لِيَـــوْمِ لِقَـــاءِ

Wa-yuthbitunī fī al-khādimīna ḥaẓiyyahum
Wa-yaqbalu amdāḥī li-yawmi liqā’ī

He establishes me among the most favored of his servants and accepts my praises for the Day of Meeting.

وَيَقْطَعُ عَنِّي الْبَيْنَ بِالْوَصْلِ دَائِمًا
قَدِ اشْتَعَلَتْ بِالشَّـوْقِ كُــلُّ حَشَائِي

Wa-yaqṭa‘u ‘annī al-bayna bil-waṣli dā’iman
Qad ishta‘alat bil-shawqi kullu ḥashā’ī

He severs my separation with eternal union, for all my inward parts have been set ablaze with longing.

أَ أَحْمَدُ يَــــا خَيْــرَ الْأَنَــامِ نَبِيَّنَــا
فَمِنْكَ أَتَـى الْأَرْسَـــالَ كُلُّ حِبَــاءِ

A-Aḥmadu yā khayra al-anāmi nabiyyanā
Fa-minka atā al-arsāla kullu ḥibā’ī

O Ahmad, O best of mankind, our Prophet; it is from you that all gifts came to the other Messengers.

وَفِي كُلِّ حَيٍّ مِنْ حِبَائِـكَ نِعْمَـةٌ
فَأَسْدِلْ لِإِبْرَاهِيـــمَ سَيْبَ عَطَــاءِ

Wa-fī kulli ḥayyin min ḥibā’ika ni‘matun
Fa-asdil li-Ibrāhīma sayba ‘aṭā’i

In every living being, there is a blessing from your gifts; so pour down upon Ibrahim an overflow of your generosity.

فَقِيرٌ غَرِيبٌ شَاعِـرٌ خَــادِمٌ لَكُـمْ
مُحِبٌّ لَقَــى لِلْحُــبِّ كُــلَّ جَفَــاءِ

Faqīrun gharībun shā‘irun khādimun lakum
Muḥibbun laqā lil-ḥubbi kulla jafā’i

I am a poor man, a stranger, a poet, and your servant; a lover who has met all kinds of harshness for the sake of this love.

عَلَيْــكَ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ وَأَهْلِ عَبَــاءِ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-asḥābin wa-ahli ‘abā’i

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and His peace, and upon the family, the companions, and the People of the Cloak.
