# Harful Haa · حَرْفُ الْحَاءِ

From [Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/qasaaid/691f292bc02b144934a4ec1f) by [Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/authors/69172463686829cc1d041df5)

**1.** بَلَـــى إِنَّ حُــــبَّ الْهَاشِمِــيِّ رَبَـــاحُ / وَمَدْحِـــي لَــهُ سِحْــــرٌ أَرَاهُ مُبَــاحُ

_Balā inna ḥubba al-Hāshimiyyi rabāḥu / Wa-madḥī lahu siḥrun arāhu mubāḥu_

Indeed, the love of the Hashemite is a great gain, and my praise for him is a magic that I deem lawful.

**2.** وَخَمْرٌ حَــــلاَلٌ لِلْغَبُـــوقِ وَبَلْهَ مَــا / سِـــــوَاهُ فَفِيـــهِ لِلنَّدِيــــــمِ جُنَــــــاحُ

_Wa-khamrun ḥalālun lil-ghabūqi wa-balha mā / Siwāhu fa-fīhi lil-nadīmi junāḥu_

It is a permissible wine for the evening drink—never mind any other—for in anything else, the cup-companion finds only sin.

**3.** وَنِلْــتُ بِـــهِ كُــلَّ الْمُــرَادَاتِ إِنَّنِــي / أَتَانِــــــي بِمَدْحِـــي لِلْأَمِيــنِ نَجَــاحُ

_Wa-niltu bihi kulla al-murādāti innanī / Atānī bi-madḥī lil-Amīni najāḥu_

Through him, I have attained all my desires; indeed, through my praise for the Trustworthy one, success has come to me.

**4.** أُجَالِسُــهُ مَهْمَــا صَفَــا لِي مَجَالِسِــي / وَيَجْبُرُ كَسْرَ الْغَيْــرِ مِنْــهُ صَـــلاَحُ

_Ujālisuhu mahmā ṣafā lī majālisī / Wa-yajburu kasra al-ghayri minhu ṣalāḥu_

I sit in his presence whenever my gatherings become pure, and his righteousness mends the brokenness caused by others.

**5.** أُجَالِسُ بِالْأَمْـــدَاحِ سِـرِّي وَعُمْدَتِـي / مُحَمَّدُ مَــنْ هُـــو لِلْمَهِيـــضِ جَنَــاحُ

_Ujālisu bil-amdāḥi sirrī wa-‘umdatī / Muḥammadu man huwa lil-mahīḍi janāḥu_

Through these praises, I sit with my secret and my support: Muhammad, who is a wing for the one with broken wings.

**6.** فَيَنْصُرُ مَظْلُومًــــا وَيُكْسِــبُ دَائِمًــا / لِذِي عَــــدَمٍ لِلْخَلْــــقِ مِنْـــهُ فَـــلاَحُ

_Fa-yanṣuru maẓlūman wa-yuksibu dā’iman / Li-dhī ‘adamin lil-khalqi minhu falāḥu_

He aids the oppressed and always provides for the destitute; through him, all of creation finds prosperity.

**7.** وَلِي مِنْهُ بَعْدَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرٌ وَكَيْفَ لاَ / وَمَا لِي عَلَى الْعِلاَّتِ مِنْـــــهُ بَــرَاحُ

_Wa-lī minhu ba‘da al-‘usri yusrun wa-kayfa lā / Wa-mā lī ‘alā al-‘illāti minhu barāḥu_

From him, I receive ease after every hardship, and how could it be otherwise when I find no departure from him despite my ailments?

**8.** يُحَوِّلُ خَيْـــرُ النَّـــاسِ حَالِي وَإِنَّــهُ / يَجِيءُ بُعَيْـــدَ اللَّيْـــلِ مِنْــهُ صَبَــاحُ

_Yuḥawwilu khayru al-nāsi ḥālī wa-innahu / Yajī’u bu‘ayda al-layli minhu ṣabāḥu_

The best of mankind transforms my state; surely, shortly after the night, his dawn arrives.

**9.** فَإِنِّــــي ذَلِيــــــلٌ عَاجِـــزٌ مُتَمَسِّــكٌ / بِذَيْلِ الَّــذِي لِلْكُفْـــرِ مِنْـــهُ رِمَـــاحُ

_Fa-innī dhalīlun ‘ājizun mutamassikun / Bi-dhayli alladhī lil-kufri minhu rimāḥu_

For I am lowly, helpless, and clinging to the cloak-tail of the one whose spears pierce through disbelief.

**10.** كَفَانِي بِمَــدْحِ الْهَاشِمِــيِّ وَأَزْدَرِي / سِــــوَاهُ وَلِي بَعْـــدَ الْغُــدُوِّ رَوَاحُ

_Kafānī bi-madḥi al-Hāshimiyyi wa-azdarī / Siwāhu wa-lī ba‘da al-ghuduwwi rawāḥu_

The praise of the Hashemite suffices me, and I look down upon all else; for me, after the morning journey, there is a peaceful evening return.

**11.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / يَرُوقُ مَدِيحِــي فِيهِ وَهْــوَ رَبَـــاحُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Yarūqu madīḥī fīhi wa-huwa rabāḥu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; my praise for him is delightful and is itself a profit.

**12.** عَلَيْهِ مَـــعَ الْآلِ الْكِرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ / صَلاَةٌ كَطِيبِ الْمِسْــكِ حِينَ يُفَــاحُ

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Ṣalātun ka-ṭībi al-miski ḥīna yufāḥu_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions, be a prayer like the scent of musk when it spreads.
