Harfut Taa · حَرْفُ التَّاءِ

رِضَا الْمُنْحَمِنَّا مَطْلَبِـي حَيْثُمَا نِلْـــتُ
رِضَاهُ حَوَتْ كَفِّي جَمِيعَ الَّذِي رُمْتُ

Riḍā al-Munḥaminnā maṭlabī ḥaythumā niltu
Riḍāhu ḥawat kaffī jamī‘a alladhī rumtu

The pleasure of the "Munhaminna" is my quest wherever I may be; if I attain his pleasure, my hands have grasped everything I ever sought.

وَيَصْغُرُ فِي عَيْنِــي تِلاَدِي وَطَارِفِـي
لِدَرْكِ رِضَى الْمَاحِي حَيَاتِي وَإِنْ مِتُّ

Wa-yaṣghuru fī ‘aynī tilādī wa-ṭārifī
Li-darki riḍā al-Māḥī ḥayātī wa-in mittu

My inherited wealth and my newly acquired riches seem small in my eyes compared to reaching the pleasure of the Eraser, throughout my life and even if I die.

فَقَوْلِي إِلَى تَصْوِيـــرِ مَدْحِـــكَ صَــادِقٌ
وَدَلَّ عَلَى صِدْقِي جَمِيـــعُ الَّذِي قُلْــتُ

Fa-qawlī ilā taṣwīri madḥika ṣādiqun
Wa-dalla ‘alā ṣidqī jamī‘u alladhī qultu

My words in depicting your praise are truthful, and everything I have uttered serves as evidence of my sincerity.

فَكُلِّـــــيَ مَشْغُـــــــــولٌ بِكُــــلِّ مُحَمَّـــدٍ
وَلَمْ أَتَّخِذْ خِــــلاًّ سِـــــوَاهُ وَمَا نِلْـــتُ

Fa-kulliya mashghūlun bi-kulli Muḥammadin
Wa-lam attakhidh khillan siwāhu wa-mā niltu

My entire being is occupied with every aspect of Muhammad; I have taken no intimate friend besides him, nor have I sought one.

وَلَــــكِ اقْتِفَــــــــا آثَـــــارِهِ وَفِعَالِــــهِ
عَسِيرٌ عَلَى الْأَعْضَاءِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَا تُبْتُ

Wa-lākin iqtifā āthārihi wa-fi‘ālihi
‘Asīrun ‘alā al-a‘ḍā’i min ajli dhā tubtu

However, following his footsteps and his actions is difficult for the physical limbs, and for that reason, I have repented.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــــــلاَةُ اللَّهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
بِكَثْرَةِ تَسْلِيمِي عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى ، فُقْـتُ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Bi-kathrati taslīmī ‘alā al-Muṣṭafā fuqtu

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through the abundance of my salutations upon the Chosen One, I have surpassed others.

عَلَيْهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِـــــرَامِ وَصَحْبِـــهِ
صَـــلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيــــمٌ فَإِنِّـــي بِهِ فُـــزْتُ

‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi
Ṣalātun wa-taslīmun fa-innī bihi fuztu

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions, be prayer and peace, for indeed through him I have triumphed.
