Harful Haa · حَرْفُ الْحَاءِ

حَمَانِي رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ مِــنْ كُلِّ رَامِــحِ
عَلَــى رَغْـمِ غَـادٍ لِلْبِــرَازِ وَرَائِــحِ

Ḥamānī Rasūlu Allāhi min kulli rāmiḥi
‘Ala raghmi ghādin lil-birāzi wa-rā’iḥi

The Messenger of Allah has protected me from every spear-thrower, despite those who go out to duel in the morning or evening.

حَمَانِـي رَسُــولُ اللّٰهِ عَنْ مَكْرِ مَاكِـرٍ
وَشُؤْمٍ لِــــذِي شُؤْمٍ وَكُلِّ الْجَوَائِــحِ

Ḥamānī Rasūlu Allāhi ‘an makri mākirin
Wa-shu’min li-dhī shu’min wa-kulli al-jawā’iḥi

The Messenger of Allah has protected me from the plot of the plotter, the ill-omen of the wretched, and every calamity.

وَسِحْرٍ لِذِي سِحْــــرٍ وَعَيْــنٍ لِعَائِــنٍ
فَمَنْ رَامَ ضُرِّي قَدْ سَعَى فِي مَصَالِحِي

Wa-siḥrin li-dhī siḥrin wa-‘aynin li-‘ā’inin
Fa-man rāma ḍurrī qad sa‘ā fī maṣāliḥī

From the magic of the magician and the eye of the envier; for whoever seeks my harm has [unintentionally] worked toward my benefit.

بِيُمْـــنِ رَسُـــولِ اللّٰهِ كَهْفِــي وَمَلْجَئِــي
فَمَا مُبْغِضُ الْعَبْـــــــدِ الْحَقِيـــرِ بِرَابِــحِ

Bi-yumni Rasūli Allāhi kahfī wa-malja’ī
Fa-mā mubghiḍu al-‘abdi al-ḥaqīri bi-rābiḥi

By the blessing of the Messenger of Allah, my Cave and my Refuge; the hater of this humble servant shall never be a winner.

نَصَحْــــتُ لِمَنْ يَبْغِــي السَّلاَمَةَ وَالْعُلَى
يُخَلِّـــي عَــــنِ الْمَـــدَّاحِ مِن كُلِّ قَــادِحِ

Naṣaḥtu li-man yabghī al-salāmata wal-‘ulā
Yukhallī ‘ani al-maddāḥi min kulli qādiḥi

I have given advice to whoever seeks safety and high status: leave the Praiser [of the Prophet] alone and cease all criticism.

فَــــإِنَّ رَسُــــولَ اللّٰهِ حَامِـــي ذِمَــارِهِ
وَقَدْ جَــاءَ مَنْصُورًا عَلَى كُلِّ كَــادِحِ

Fa-inna Rasūla Allāhi ḥāmī dhimārihi
Wa-qad jā’a manṣūran ‘alā kulli kādiḥi

For indeed, the Messenger of Allah is the protector of his domain; he has come victorious over every toiler [against him].

وَقَدْ كُفِــــيَ الْأَحْزَابَ يَــوْمَ تَحَزَّبُــوا
وَرُدُّوا بِغَيْــظٍ بِالْبَلاَيَــــا الْفَـــــوَادِحِ

Wa-qad kufiya al-aḥzāba yawma taḥazzabū
Wa-ruddū bi-ghayẓin bil-balāyā al-fawādiḥi

He sufficed against the Confederates (Al-Aḥzāb) on the day they gathered; they were turned back in rage with crushing calamities.

وَإِنِّي مَعَ الْمُخْتَــــارِ فِــي كُلِّ حَالَــةٍ
بِحُبٍّ وَذِكْــــرٍ ثُمَّ قَـــرْضِ الْمَدَائِــحِ

Wa-innī ma‘a al-Mukhtāri fī kulli ḥālatin
Bi-ḥubbin wa-dhikrin thumma qarḍi al-madā’iḥi

And I am with the Chosen One in every circumstance—through love, remembrance, and the composition of odes.

فَمَنْ رَاشَ نَحْوِي سَهْمَهُ فَهْـــوَ رَائِــشٌ
إِلَــــــى نَحْـــــرِهِ فَلْيُنْـــذَرَنْ بِالْقَــوَادِحِ

Fa-man rāsha naḥwī sahmahu fahuwa rā’ishun
Ilā naḥrihi falyundharan bil-qawādiḥi

Whoever feathers his arrow toward me has only aimed it back at his own throat; let him be warned of the strikes.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
أَنَالُ بِهَــــا كُـــلَّ الْمُنَــى وَالْمَـــرَابِــحِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Anālu bihā kulla al-munā wal-marābiḥi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through which I attain all desires and profits.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
لِتَمْلَأَ مِنْ حُبِّ الْأَمِيـــــنِ جَوَانِحِــي

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-tamla’a min ḥubbi al-Amīni jawāniḥī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may it fill my very ribs with the love of the Trustworthy One.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
لِيَرْفَعَنِـــي الْهَادِي عَلَـــى كُلِّ مَــادِحِ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-yarfa‘anī al-Hādī ‘alā kulli mādiḥi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may the Guide raise me above every other praiser.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
لِيَقْبَلَ سَعْيِي ثُـــــمَّ كُـــلَّ مَدَائِحِــي

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-yaqbala sa‘yī thumma kulla madā’iḥī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may he accept my effort and all my odes of praise.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
فَتُسْقَى أَرَاضِي بِالْمُزُونِ الدَّوَالِحِ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Fa-tusqā arāḍī bil-muzūni al-dawāliḥi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my lands be watered by heavy, rain-bearing clouds.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
صَلاَةً بِهَا نُجْحِي وَكُلُّ الْمَصَالِــحِ

‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Ṣalātan bihā nujḥī wa-kullu al-maṣāliḥi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which lies our success and all our interests.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَمَنْ يَقْتَفِي مِنْ كُــلِّ بَرٍّ وَصَالِــحِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-man yaqtafī min kulli barrin wa-ṣāliḥi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon whoever follows him from among every pious and righteous person.
