Al-Hhaa Aydwan · الْهَاءُ أَيْضًا
From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass
هَنِيئًا لِإِبْرَاهِيــــــمَ لاَحَ هِلاَلُـــهُ
هِلاَلٌ بَــــدَا لِلنَّاظِرِيـــنَ جَمَالُــهُ
Hanī’an li-Ibrāhīma lāḥa hilāluhu
Hilālun badā lin-nāẓirīna jamāluhu
Congratulations to Ibrahim, for his crescent moon has appeared; a moon whose beauty has become manifest to the onlookers.
هِلاَلُ رَبِيـعٍ فِيــــــهِ جَاءَ مُحَمَّـــدٌ
فَـتَمَّ لَنَا الْبُشْـــرَى وَعَـــمَّ نَوَالُــهُ
Hilālu Rabī‘in fīhi jā’a Muḥammadun
Fa-tamma lanā al-bushrā wa-‘amma nawāluhu
The moon of Rabi' [al-Awwal], in which Muhammad came; so our glad tidings became complete and his bounty became universal.
لِأَفْضَلِ أَرْضٍ حَلَّ أَفْضَلُ مُرْسَلٍ
بِأَفْضَلِ يَــــوْمٍ فَاسْتَبَـــانَ كَمَالُــهُ
Li-afḍali arḍin ḥalla afḍalu mursalin
Bi-afḍali yawmin fastabāna kamāluhu
To the best of lands came the best of Messengers, on the best of days, and thus his perfection became clear.
قَدِ اخْتِيرَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْعَوَالِمِ أَصْلُــهُ
كَمَا اخْتِيرَ وَاخْتِيرَتْ لِذَاكَ فِعَالُهُ
Qadi-khtīra min kulli al-‘awālimi aṣluhu
Kamā-khtīra wa-khtīrat li-dhālika fi‘āluhu
His origin was chosen from all the worlds, just as his actions were specifically selected for that [purpose].
مُحَمَّـــــدُ مُخْتَــارٌ وَآدَمُ طِينَـةٌ
مُحَمَّدُ يَوْمَ الْبَعْثِ رَاقَ خِصَالُهُ
Muḥammadun mukhtārun wa-Ādamu ṭīnatun
Muḥammadun yawma al-ba‘thi rāqa khiṣāluhu
Muhammad was the "Chosen" while Adam was still [unformed] clay; on the Day of Resurrection, his traits shall be the most pleasing.
مُحَمَّدُ نُورُ الْخَلْقِ وَهْوَ مُحَمَّــدٌ
عَظِيمٌ عَظِيمُ الْخُلْقِ تَمَّ جَلاَلُــهُ
Muḥammadun nūru al-khalqi wa-huwa Muḥammadun
‘Aẓīmun ‘aẓīmu al-khuluqi tamma jalāluhu
Muhammad is the Light of creation, and he is Muhammad; magnificent, great in character, his majesty is complete.
عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
يَزُولُ عَذَابٌ آنَ مِنْكَ زَوَالُــهُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yazūlu ‘adhābun āna minka zawāluhu
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through him, the torment whose time for departure has come shall vanish.
عَلَيْهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
يَـتِمُّ لِبَرْهَامَ الْحَقِيرِ وِصَالُـــهُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yatimmu li-Barhāma al-ḥaqīri wiṣāluhu
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may union be completed for the lowly "Barham."
عَلَيْهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
يُبِيدُ عَدُوَّ الدِّينِ مِنْـكَ قِتَالُــهُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yubīdu ‘aduwwa al-dīni minka qitāluhu
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through you, the combat against the enemy of religion shall be annihilated.
عَلَيْــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
يَكُونُ عَدُوِّي شُدَّ مِنْكَ وَبَالُهُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yakūnu ‘aduwwī shudda minka wabāluhu
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my enemy face the full weight of your punishment.
عَلَيْــــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
مَتَى لاَحَ مِنْ فَوْقِ السَّمَاءِ هِلاَلُهُ
‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Matā lāḥa min fawqi al-samā’i hilāluhu
Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, whenever his crescent moon shines from above the heavens.
عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـهُ
بِهَا خُصِّصَ الْأَصْحَابُ طُرًّا وَآلُهُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Bihā khuṣ-ṣiṣa al-aṣḥābu ṭurran wa-āluhu
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, through which the companions—all of them—and his family are specifically honored.
