**1.** هَوِيـــتُ رَسُــــولَ اللّٰهِ طَـــهَ الْمُشَفَّعَـــا / لَدَى الْحَقِّ مَنْ قَصْرَ الضَّلاَلَةِ زَعْزَعَا

**2.** وَشَتَّتَ شَمْلَ الْكُفْرِ أَمْسَتْ رُبُوعُـهُ / يَبَابًا وَنُورُ الْحَــقِّ قَهْرًا تَشَعْشَعَــا

**3.** أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ جَـــلَّ جَلاَلُــهُ / مِنْ إِمْسَاكِ دِينٍ حَبْلُــهُ قَدْ تَقَطَّعَــا

**5.** أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْأَمْرِ أَنْ أَرَى / بِعَيْنَيَّ رُكْنَ الدِّينِ يَوْمًا تَصَدَّعَـــا

_A‘ūdhu bi-rabbi al-khalqi wal-amri an arā / Bi-‘aynayya rukna al-dīni yawman taṣad-da‘ā_
