Harfut Taa · حَرْفُ التَّاءِ

تَوَيْتَ وَقَدْ تَبَّتْ يَدَاكَ وَقَدْ عَنَتْ
كَنِيسَتُكَ السَّوْدَا لِدِينِي وَأَذْعَنَــتْ

Tawayta wa-qad tabbat yadāka wa-qad ‘anat
Kanīsatuka al-sawdā li-dīnī wa-adh‘anat

You have perished, and your hands are ruined, as your dark church has been humbled by my religion and has submitted.

تُحَارِبُ دِينَ الْهَاشِمِـــيِّ وَتَزْدَرِي
كِتَابًا كَرِيمًا رَاقَ مَعْنًى وَذَا عَنَتْ

Tuḥāribu dīna al-Hāshimiyyi wa-tazdarī
Kitāban karīman rāqa ma‘nan wa-dhā ‘anat

You fight the religion of the Hashemite and mock a Noble Book whose meanings are exquisite, yet that is but your own fatigue.

وَجِئْتَ بِبَاءِ الْبُؤْسِ ثُمَّ دَمَارِ مَنْ
إِلَى سَقَرٍ تَدْعُوهُــمُ فِئَـــةً بَغَـــتْ

Wa-ji’ta bi-bā’i al-bu’si thumma damāri man
Ila Saqara tad‘ūhumu fi’atun baghat

You brought the "B" of misery and destruction for those whom a transgressing group calls toward the Hellfire.

وَفُزْتُ بِحُبِّ الْهَاشِمِــــي قَـــائِدًا لَــــهُ
ذَوِي الْفَوْزِ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ إِذْ كِلْمَتِي عَلَتْ

Wa-fuztu bi-ḥubbi al-Hāshimiyyi qā’idan lahu
Dhawī al-fawzi fī al-dārayni idh kilmatī ‘alat

But I triumphed through the love of the Hashemite, a leader for those who succeed in both abodes, as my word has been raised high.

عَلَيْهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
يَزِيدُ بِقَلْبِي حُبُّ أَحْمَـــدَ إِذْ ثَبَـتْ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yazīdu bi-qalbi ḥubbu Aḥmada idh thabat

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; the love of Ahmad increases in my heart as it remains firm.

عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ
قَصَائِدُ زَانَتْهَا صِفَاتٌ لَكُمْ غَلَتْ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Qaṣā’idu zānat-hā ṣifātun lakum ghalat

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; odes beautified by your attributes, which are of supreme value.

عَلَيْهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
فَبَذْرُ هَوَى الْمَاحِي بِقَلْبِيَ قَدْ نَبَتْ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Fa-badh-ru hawa al-Māḥī bi-qalbiya qad nabat

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for the seed of the Eraser's love has sprouted in my heart.

عَلَيْهِ مَعَ الْآلِ الْكِرَامِ وَصَحْبِهِ
صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ نُجُومٌ لَنَا بَــدَتْ

‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi
Ṣalātun wa-taslīmun nujūmun lanā badat

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; a prayer and peace that appear to us like stars.
