Harful Dhaal · حَرْفُ الذَّالِ

ذَلِيلٌ حَقِيرٌ آخِذًا حُبَّكُمْ غِــــــذَا
أَتَى مُسْتَغِيثَا حَذْوَ مَنْ قَبْلَهُ حَذَا

Dhalīlun ḥaqīrun ākhidhan ḥubbaka ghidhā
Atā mustaghīthan ḥadhwa man qablahu ḥadhā

Humble and lowly, taking your love as my nourishment, he has come seeking succor, following the path of those who went before him.

فَأَنْتَ أَبَا الْأَجْوَادِ مَصْرِفُ مِدْحَتِي
مِنَ الْعَبْدِ بَرْهَامَ الْحَقِيرِ الثَّنَا خُـذَا

Fa-anta aba al-ajwādi maṣrifu mid-ḥatī
Mina al-‘abdi Bar-hāma al-ḥaqīri al-thanā khudhā

For you, O father of the generous, are the destination of my praise; from the lowly servant Ibrahim, accept this extolling.

تَلَوْتُ ثَنَاءَ الْحَـــقِّ جَـــلَّ جَلاَلُــهُ
عَلَيْكَ فَمَا يُغْنِي الْمَصَاقِعُ بَعْــدَ ذَا

Talawtu thanā’a al-Ḥaqqi jalla jalāluhu
‘Alayka famā yughnī al-maṣāqi‘u ba‘da dhā

I have recited the praise of the Truth (Allah)—Exalted is His Majesty—upon you; so what use are the most eloquent orators after that?

تَقَبَّلْ ثَنَا بَرْهَامَ أَجْزِلْ عَطَـــاءَهُ
فَإِنَّكَ مِعْطَاءُ الْجَزِيـــلِ وَلاَ أَذَى

Taqabbal thanā Bar-hāma ajzil ‘aṭā’ahu
Fa-innaka mi‘ṭā’u al-jazīli wa-lā adhā

Accept the praise of Ibrahim and magnify his reward, for you are the giver of abundance without causing any reproach.

عَلَيْهِ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
صَلاَةً أَرَى الْمَاحِي لِذَا الْعَبْدِ مُنْقِــذَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Ṣalātan arā al-Māḥī lidhā al-‘abdi munqidhā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which I see the Eraser as the rescuer for this servant.

عَلَيْــــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ
يَكُونُ هَوَى الْمَاحِي مَدَى الدَّهْرِ لِي غِذَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Yakūnu hawa al-Māḥī madā al-dahri lī ghidhā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may the love of the Eraser remain my nourishment for all of eternity.

عَلَيْهِ صَــــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ أَرَى الْكُلَّ جِهْبِـــذَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-asḥābin arā al-kulla jihbidhā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions, every one of whom I see as a brilliant master.
