Harfush Shiin · حَرْفُ الشِّينِ

سِفَارٌ مَعَ الْـهَـادِي لِذَلِـكَ لاَ نَخْشَــى
هَوَانًا وَلاَ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا وَلاَ بَطْشَا

Sifārun ma‘a al-Hādī li-dhālika lā nakhshā
Hawānan wa-lā ẓulman wa-jawran wa-lā baṭshā

A journey with the Guide—for that reason, we do not fear humiliation, nor injustice, nor tyranny, nor assault.

أُخَاطِبُـهُ بِالْمَـــــــدْحِ وَهْـــــوَ مُؤَنِّسِـــي
وَحِينَ صَفَا الْمَاحِي فَمَا ضَرَّ مَنْ غَشَّا

Ukhāṭibuhu bil-madḥi wa-huwa mu’annisī
Wa-ḥīna ṣafā al-Māḥī fa-mā darra man ghashshā

I address him with praise while he is my intimate companion; and when the Eraser is pure toward me, the one who deceives cannot harm.

نَبِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ قَبْـــــلُ صَلَّـــى مُسَلِّمًـــا
إِلَـــهُ الْبَرَايَا وَهْوَ مِــنْ حُبِّهِ أَنْشَــا

Nabiyyun ‘alayhi qablu ṣallā musalliman
Ilāhu al-barāyā wa-huwa min ḥubbihi anshā

A Prophet upon whom the God of creation previously prayed and sent peace, and it was out of love for him that He initiated creation.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
وَيُغْنِي الْمُقَفَّى عَنْ بَشَاشَةِ مَنْ بَشَّا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-yughnī al-Muqaffā ‘an bashāshati man bashshā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; the Final Prophet makes me independent of the cheerful countenances of those who smile.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
مَدَى الدَّهْرِ إِنْشَادِي لِأَحْمَدَ وَالْإِنْشَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Madā al-dahri inshādī li-Aḥmada wal-inshā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; throughout all time be my chanting for Ahmad and my compositions.

عَلَيْهِ مَعَ الْآلِ الْكِـــرَامِ وَصَحْبِـــهِ
أَكُونُ خَدِيمًا عَابِــدًا عَالِمًــا أَخْشَى

‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi
Akūnu khadīman ‘ābidan ‘āliman akhshā

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; may I be a servant, a worshiper, a scholar, and one who fears God.
