Al-Miim Aydwan · الْمِيمُ أَيْضًا

مَحَا مِنْ فُؤَادِي حُبَّ لَيْلَـــى وَتَنْـدَمِ
وِدَادُ الْإِمَـــامِ الْـهَاشِمِـــيِّ الْمُفَخَّـــمِ

Maḥā min fu’ādī ḥubba Laylā wa-Tandami
Widādu al-Imāmi al-Hāshimiyyi al-mufakh-khami

The affection of the magnificent Hashemite Imam has erased from my heart the love of "Layla" and "Tandam."

حَدَا بِيَ حَادِي الْعَاشِقِيـــنَ بِذِكْــرِهِ
رُوَيْــدَكَ رِفْقًــا بِالْمُحِـــبِّ الْمُتَيَّــمِ

Ḥadā biya ḥādī al-‘āshiqīna bi-dhikrihi
Ruwaydaka rifqan bil-muḥibbi al-mutayyami

The driver of the lovers' caravan has urged me on with his remembrance; go slowly, be gentle with the enslaved lover.

مُحَمَّدُ مَحْمُــــــودٌ مُحَمَّـــدُ أَحْمَــدٌ
مُحَمَّدُ مُخْتَــــارٌ حَبِيـــبُ الْمُقَــدِّمِ

Muḥammadu Maḥmūdun Muḥammadu Aḥmadun
Muḥammadu Mukhtārun ḥabību al-Muqaddimi

Muhammad is Maḥmūd (the Praised), Muhammad is Ahmad, Muhammad is the Chosen, the beloved of the One who brings forward.

مُحَمَّدُ طَـــهَ عَاقِبٌ وَهْوَ مُصْطَفًى
بَشِيرٌ نَذِيرٌ ضَيْغَـــــمٌ أَيُّ ضَيْغَــمِ

Muḥammadu Ṭāhā ‘Āqibun wa-huwa Muṣṭafā
Bashīrun Nadhīrun ḍayghamun ayyu ḍayghami

Muhammad is Taha, the Final, and he is the Elect; a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, a lion—and what a lion!

دَعَانِي هَوَى الْمَاحِي السِّرَاجِ وَإِنَّنِي
بِذَنْبِــيَ مَعْقُـــــولٌ فَمَــــنْ لِي بِسُلَّــمِ

Da‘ānī hawā al-Māḥī al-sirāji wa-innanī
Bi-dhanbiya ma‘qūlun fa-man lī bi-sullami

The passion for the "Eraser," the Lamp, has called me; but I am shackled by my sins—so who will provide me with a ladder?

رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ وَهْــــوَ هَـــادٍ وَرَحْمَــةٌ
أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْمَنْصُورُ تُرْسِي وَأَسْهُمِي

Rasūlun Amīnun wa-huwa Hādin wa-raḥmatu
Abū al-Qāsimi al-manṣūru tursī wa-ashhumī

A trustworthy Messenger, a Guide, and a Mercy; Abul Qasim the Victorious is my shield and my arrows.

سَرَى الْمُصْطَفَى لَيْلاً وَوَافَى بِخَمْسَةٍ
عَرَجْنَــــــا بِهَـــا وَالْفَضْــلُ لِلْمُتَقَــدِّمِ

Sarā al-Muṣṭafā laylan wa-wāfā bi-khamsatin
‘Arajnā bihā wal-faḍlu lil-mutaqaddimi

The Chosen One traveled by night and brought back the Five [prayers]; through them, we ascended—and the grace belongs to the Foremost one.

وَأَوْصَى بِهَا عِنْدَ الْعُرُوجِ مُوَكِّدًا
فَفِيهَا يَنَـالُ الْعَبْــــدُ كُـــلَّ التَّقَــدُّمِ

Wa-awṣā bihā ‘inda al-‘urūji mu’akkidan
Fa-fīhā yanālu al-‘abdu kulla al-taqaddumi

He emphasized them during his Ascension with certainty; for in them, the servant attains all progress.

لَهُ وَبِهِ قُمْ وَارْكَعَــــنَّ تَوَاضُعًــا
تَرَى قُرَّةً لِلْعَيْنِ مِنْ خَيْــرِ مُنْعِـمِ

Lahu wa-bihi qum warka‘anna tawāḍu‘an
Tarā qurratan lil-‘ayni min khayri mun‘imi

For him and through him, stand and bow in humility; you will see the "coolness of the eyes" from the Best of Benefactors.

إِذَا قُمْتَ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْوُضُوءِ مُرَتِّــلاً
وَتَسْجُدُ مِنْ بَعْدِ الرُّكُوعِ الْمُعَظَّمِ

Idhā qumta min ba‘di al-wuḍū’i murat-tilan
Wa-tasjudu min ba‘di al-rukū‘i al-mu‘aẓ-ẓami

When you stand after ablution, reciting rhythmically, and prostrate after the magnificent bowing,

لَقَدْ طُوِيَتْ عَنْــكَ الْمَسَــافَةُ جَهْــرَةً
وَصَلْتَ إِلَى الْمَحْبُوبِ كَبِّرْ وَعَظِّمِ

La-qad ṭuwiyat ‘anka al-masāfatu jahratan
Waṣalta ila al-maḥbūbi kabbir wa-‘aẓ-ẓimi

The distance has been folded for you openly; you have reached the Beloved, so declare His greatness and magnify Him.

لِرَبِّـــي إِلَـــهِ الْعَـــرْشِ شُكْـــرٌ مُؤَبَّــدٌ
عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَارِ سِرِّي الْمُكَـتَّـمِ

Li-rabbī ilāhi al-‘arshi shukrun mu’abbadun
‘Alā al-Muṣṭafā al-Mukhtāri sirrī al-mukat-tami

To my Lord, the God of the Throne, be eternal thanks for the Chosen One, my concealed secret.

أُسَائِلُهُ تَحْقِيقَ مَــا كُنْـــتُ رَاجِيًـا
لِدِينِي وَدُنْيَائِي بِطَـــهَ الْمُفَخَّـــــمِ

Usā’iluhu taḥqīqa mā kuntu rājiyan
Li-dīnī wa-dunyā’ī bi-Ṭāhā al-mufakh-khami

I ask Him to fulfill what I have been hoping for, regarding my religion and my worldly life, through the magnificent Taha.

هَدَايَايَ تَكْثِيرُ الصَّــــلاَةِ مُسَلِّمًــا
عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْكَنْزِ الْعَظِيمِ الْمُطَلْسَمِ

Hadāyāya takthīru al-ṣalāti musalliman
‘Alā dhālika al-kanzi al-‘aẓīmi al-muṭalsami

My gifts are the abundance of my prayers and peace upon that great, "Talismanic" Treasure.
