Harful Ghayn · حَرْفُ الْغَيْنِ

غَمَـــــامٌ بِـــــآلاَءِ الْإِلَـــهِ السَّوَابِـــغِ
قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ الْمَوْلَـى إِلَـــى كُلِّ بَالِـــغِ

Ghamāmun bi-ālā’i al-ilāhi al-sawābighi
Qad ar-salahu al-Mawlā ila kulli bālighi

He is a cloud carrying the abundant favors of God, which the Master has sent to every mature soul.

وَذَلِكَ شَرْعُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَكِتَابُهُ
فَفِيهِ بِشَــارَاتٌ وَكُـــلُّ الدَّوَامِــغِ

Wa-dhālika shar-‘u al-Muṣṭafā wa-kitābuhu
Fa-fīhi bishārātun wa-kullu al-dawāmighi

That is the Law of the Chosen One and his Book; within it are glad tidings and all that crushes falsehood.

فَأَبْطِلْ أَيَا مَوْلاَيَ كُـــــلَّ مُمَــوَّهٍ
بِوَاضِحِ بُرْهَانٍ عَلاَ كُــلَّ دَامِـــغِ

Fa-abṭil ayā mawlāya kulla mumaw-wahin
Bi-wāḍiḥi bur-hānin ‘alā kulli dāmighi

So, O my Master, nullify every deception with a clear proof that rises above every falsifier.

أَغِثْنَا أَيَا مَوْلاَيَ مَـــنْ جَلَّ ذِكْـــرُهُ
فَنُكْسَى مِــــنَ الْآلاَ بِكُــلِّ السَّوَابِــغِ

Aghith-nā ayā mawlāya man jalla dhikruhu
Fa-nuk-sā mina al-ālā bi-kulli al-sawābighi

Succor us, O my Master—Exalted is His mention—so that we may be clothed in favors of every abundance.

أَغِثْنَـــــا أَغِثْنَــــا يَا مُغِيـــثُ فَإِنَّنَــا
أَلِفْنَا بِكَ النَّعْمَـــاءَ مِـــنْ كُلِّ سَابِــغِ

Aghith-nā aghith-nā yā Mughīthu fa-innanā
Alif-nā bika al-na‘mā’a min kulli sābighi

Succor us, succor us, O Granter of Succor, for we have become accustomed through You to every ample blessing.

فَــإِنْ لَمْ تُدَارِكْ فِي الْبِلاَدِ وَأَهْلِهَا
وَحَاشَــاكَ ذَاقُوا مَطْعَمًا غَيْرَ سَـائِـغِ

Fa-in lam tudārik fī al-bilādi wa-ahlihā
Wa-ḥāshāka dhāqū maṭ-‘aman ghayra sā’ighi

For if You do not reach the lands and their people—and far be it from You to let them perish—they would taste food that is not palatable.

فَيَا رَبِّ عَافِ الْعَبْدَ وَالصَّحْبَ جُمْلَةً
وَإِنِّيَ فِي الطَّاعَاتِ غَيْـــــرُ مُبَالِـــغِ

Fa-yā rabbi ‘āfi al-‘abda wal-ṣaḥba jumlatan
Wa-innī fī al-ṭā‘āti ghayru mubālighi

O my Lord, grant wellbeing to this servant and all his companions, even though I am not one who excels in acts of obedience.

وَلَكِنَّ حُبِّــــي فِـــي الْأَمِيـــنِ مُحَكَّــمٌ
وَذَاكَ صِبَاغُ الْحَقِّ أَحْسَنُ صَابِـــغِ

Wa-lakinna ḥubbī fī al-Amīni muḥakkamun
Wa-dhāka ṣibāghu al-ḥaqqi aḥsanu ṣābighi

But my love for the Trustworthy One is firmly established, and that is the Dye of Truth—the most beautiful of dyes.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
لِيُشْرِقَ فِــــي قَلْبِـــي سَنَا كُــلِّ بَازِغِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-yush-riqa fī qalbī sanā kulli bāzighi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, so that the brilliance of every rising light may shine in my heart.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
عَلَى بَـــرْقِ مُــــزْنٍ بِالْمَرَابِـحِ بَالِــغِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
‘Ala bar-qi muz-nin bil-marābiḥi bālighi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, to the count of the lightning in the rain-clouds that brings profit.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
صَلاَةً وَتَسْلِيمًا عَدِيــــدَ الْبَـــوَازِغِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Ṣalātan wa-taslīman ‘adīda al-bawāzighi

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer and a greeting as numerous as the rising stars.
