Ad-Dwaad Aydwan · الضَّادُ أَيْضًا

شُجُونٌ دَهَتْنِي سَيَّرَتْنِي لِمَنْ نَهَـــضْ
لِتَفْرِيجِ كَرْبِ الْمُكْرَبِينَ وَمَنْ نَهَضْ

Shujūnun dahatnī sayyaratnī li-man nahaḍ
Li-tafrīji karbi al-mukrabīna wa-man nahaḍ

Griefs have beset me and driven me toward the one who rose up to relieve the distress of the afflicted, the one who stood for us.

سَلَوْتُ شُجُونِي فِي مَدِيــــــحِ مُحَمَّـــدٍ
فَزَاحَ شُجُونِي وَالسُّرُورُ أَتَى عِــوَضْ

Salawtu shujūnī fī madīḥi Muḥammadin
Fa-zāḥa shujūnī wal-surūru atā ‘iwaḍ

I found solace from my griefs in the praise of Muhammad; so my sorrows vanished and joy came as a substitute.

مُحَمَّدُ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَكْرَمُ مَحْتِـــــــدًا
وَفَرْعًا وَبَذْلاً وَهْوَ لِلّٰهِ قَدْ مَحَضْ

Muḥammadu khayru al-nāsi akramu maḥtidan
Wa-far‘an wa-badhlan wa-huwa lillāhi qad maḥaḍ

Muhammad is the best of mankind, the most noble in origin and in lineage, the most generous, and he is purely devoted to Allah.

أَغِثْنِي أَغِثْنِي مُنْحَمِنَّا وَدَارِكَــــنْ
لِأَحْوَالِ عَبْدٍ غَيْرَ عَهْدِكَ مَا قَبَضْ

Aghithnī aghithnī Munḥaminnā wa-dārikan
Li-aḥwāli ‘abdin ghayra ‘ahdika mā qabaḍ

Succor me, succor me, O Munhaminna, and take charge of the affairs of a servant who has held onto no covenant but yours.

أَتَتْـــرُكُ عَبْــــدًا لاَ يُحِـــــبُّ سِوَاكُـــمُ
عَلَى سُوءِ حَالٍ فَهْوَ لاَ يَبْتَغِي الْعِوَضْ

A-tatruku ‘abdan lā yuḥibbu siwākumu
‘Alā sū’i ḥālin fa-huwa lā yabtaghī al-‘iwaḍ

Would you leave a servant who loves none besides you in such a wretched state, when he seeks no substitute for you?

فَفَرِّجْ كُرُوبِي وَاطْــــوِ كُـــلَّ مَهَامِـــهٍ
لِقُرْبِ مَزَارِ الْمُصْطَفَى حَيْثُمَا نَهَــضْ

Fa-farrij kurūbī wa-ṭwi kulla mahāmihin
Li-qurbi mazāri al-Muṣṭafā ḥaythumā nahaḍ

So relieve my distresses and fold up all the vast deserts that lie between me and the proximity of the Chosen One’s shrine, wherever he rose.

عَلَيْكَ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ
وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ حُبُّهُمْ خَيْرُ مُفْتَرَضْ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥbin ḥubbuhum khayru muftaraḍ

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions whose love is the best of obligations.
