Harfush Shiin · حَرْفُ الشِّينِ

From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass

شِفَائِي لِأَمْرَاضِي وَطِيبُ مَعَاشِـــي
بِذِكْــرِ الْمُقَفَّــــى وَهْـــوَ ذَلِكَ فَـــاشِ

Shifā’ī li-amrāḍī wa-ṭību ma‘āshī
Bi-dhikri al-muqaffā wa-huwa dhālika fāshī

My healing from my illnesses and the goodness of my life lie in the remembrance of the "Followed One"—and this is widely known.

فَمُسْتَنَـــدِي حَقًّـــــا إِمَامِـــي مُحَمَّــدٌ
وَذَاكَ مِجَنِّي مَا وَشَــى بِــيَ وَاشِ

Fa-mustanadī ḥaqqan imāmī Muḥammadu
Wa-dhāka mijannī mā washā biya wāshī

For my support in truth is my leader, Muhammad; he is my shield against whatever the slanderer may whisper.

سَعِدْتُ بِمَـــدْحِ الْـهَاشِمِـــيِّ مُحَمَّــدٍ
وَذَلِكَ حَرْثِي الدَّهْرَ وَهْوَ مَوَاشِـي

Sa‘idtu bi-mad-ḥi al-Hāshimiyyi Muḥammadin
Wa-dhālika ḥarthī al-dahra wa-huwa mawāshī

I have found happiness through the praise of the Hashemite, Muhammad; that is my lifelong cultivation and my wealth.

نَجَوْتُ مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَالشَّـــرِّ كُلِّــهِ
فَلَـــمْ أَرَ نَارًا خَـــــــــالِدًا بِغَــوَاشِ

Najawtu mina al-a‘dā’i wal-shar-ri kullihi
Falam ara nāran khālidan bi-ghawāshī

I have been saved from enemies and all evil; thus, I see no eternal fire with its covering [of punishment].

حَصَنْتُ بِذِكْرِ الْمُصْطَفَى النَّفْسَ ثُمَّ مَنْ
لَنَا يَنْتَمِـــي مِــــنْ سَاكِنِيــــنَ وَمَـــاشِ

Ḥaṣantu bi-dhikri al-Muṣṭafā al-naf-sa thumma man
Lanā yantamī min sākinīna wa-māshī

I have fortified, through the mention of the Chosen One, my own soul and whoever belongs to us, whether sedentary or traveling.

حَصَنْتُ بِهِ دِينِـــي وَدُنْيَــايَ ثُـــمَّ مَــنْ
تَفَــــــرَّعَ مِنِّــي فِـــي نَــوًى وَفِـــرَاشِ

Ḥaṣantu bihi dīnī wa-dunyāya thumma man
Tafar-ra‘a minnī fī nawan wa-firāshī

I have fortified through him my religion and my worldly life, as well as my descendants, whether near or far.

حَصَنْــتُ بِــــهِ بَيْـــتَ الْإِلَهِ وَمَا ثَــوَى
حَوَالَيْــــهِ مِـــنْ دُورٍ وَكُـــلِّ قُمَـــاشِ

Ḥaṣantu bihi bayta al-ilāhi wa-mā thawā
Ḥawālayhi min dūrin wa-kulli qumāshī

I have fortified through him the House of God (the Kaaba) and whatever resides around it of dwellings and all possessions.

حَصَنْتُ بِهِ حِزْبِــــي وَأَهْـــلَ مَوَدَّتِــي
وَكُلَّ فَتًــى يَأْتِــــي لَنَـــــا وَيُمَــاشِــي

Ḥaṣantu bihi ḥizbī wa-ahla mawad-datī
Wa-kulla fatan ya’tī lanā wa-yumāshī

I have fortified through him my group, the people of my love, and every youth who comes to us and walks with us.

عَلَيْـــــــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
فَـــــإِنَّ مَدِيـــــحَ الْـهَاشِمِـــيِّ رِيَاشِـــي

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Fa-inna madīḥa al-Hāshimiyyi riyāshī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for indeed, the praise of the Hashemite is my fine clothing and adornment.

عَلَيْهِ مَـــــعَ الْأَلِ الْكِـــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ
صَلاَةً بِهَا دَهْرِي يَطِيـــــبُ مَعَاشِــي

‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi
Ṣalātan bihā dahrī yaṭību ma‘āshī

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; a prayer through which my life remains pleasant throughout time.
