Harful Hhaa · حَرْفُ الْهَاءِ

ظَعَنْتُ إِلَى خَيْرِ الْوَرَى وَأَرَى بِهِ
مُفَــرِّجَ كَـــرْبٍ عَادِمًـــا لِلْمُشَابِــهِ

Ẓa‘antu ilā khayri al-warā wa-arā bihi
Mufarrija karbin ‘ādiman lil-mushābihi

I have set out toward the best of creation, seeing in him the reliever of distress, the one who has no equal.

تَقَطَّعُ عَنْ نَـــالٍ سِــوَاهُ مَطَامِعِـي
وَقَدْ عَضَّنِي هَــذَا الزَّمَانُ بِنَابِـهِ

Taqaṭ-ṭa‘u ‘an nālin siwāhu maṭāmi‘ī
Wa-qad ‘aḍ-ḍanī hādhā al-zamānu bi-nābihi

My aspirations for any bounty besides his have been cut off, for this time has bitten me with its fangs.

إِلَيْكَ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ أَشْكُـــــو فَإِنَّنِــي
عَدِمْتُ حَمِيمًا أَلْتَجِــي عِنْدَ بَابِـهِ

Ilayka Rasūla Allāhi ashkū fa-innanī
‘Adimtu ḥamīman altajī ‘inda bābihi

To you, O Messenger of Allah, I complain, for I have found no intimate friend; I take refuge at your door.

إِلَيْــكَ رَسُـولَ اللّٰهِ أَشْكُـو لِغُرْبَتِـــي
وَقَدْ ضَرَّنِي طُولُ الْفِرَاقِ بِصَابِهِ

Ilayka Rasūla Allāhi ashkū li-ghurbatī
Wa-qad darranī ṭūlu al-firāqi bi-ṣābihi

To you, O Messenger of Allah, I complain of my estrangement; the long separation has harmed me with its bitterness.

عَلَيْكَ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَآلٍ وَأَوْلاَدٍ وَكُـلِّ صِحَابِـهِ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-awlādin wa-kulli ṣiḥābihi

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family, the children, and all of his companions.
