Harfush Shiin · حَرْفُ الشِّينِ

شِفَائِي شَقَا أَهْلِ الْإِبَايَةِ وَالْفُحْــشِ
وَذَاكَ كِتَابٌ قَدْ أَتَانَا مِنَ الْعَـرْشِ

Shifā’ī shaqā ahli al-ibāyati wal-fuḥ-shī
Wa-dhāka kitābun qad atānā mina al-‘ar-shī

My healing lies in the [avoidance of] wretchedness of the people of defiance and obscenity; and that is through a Book that has come to us from the Throne.

شَرَعْتَ لَنَــا يَـا مُصْطَفًى قَائِدًا بِـهِ
ذَوِي الْفَوْزِ وَالرِّضْوَانِ طَرْدَ ذَوِي الْفُحْشِ

Shara‘ta lanā yā Muṣṭafā qā’idan bihi
Dhawī al-fawzi wal-riḍwāni ṭarda dhawī al-fuḥ-shī

You have legislated for us, O Chosen One, acting as a leader through it for the people of triumph and pleasure, while repelling the people of obscenity.

شُرُوقُ شُمُوسِ الْهَدْيِ فَاللَّيْلُ مُقْمِـــرٌ
كَيَوْمٍ فَسِرْ وَقْتِي إِلَى الْعَرْشِ لِلْفَرْشِ

Shurūqu shumūsi al-hadyi fal-laylu muq-mirun
Ka-yawmin fasir waqtī ila al-‘ar-shi lil-far-shī

The suns of guidance have risen, so the night is illuminated like a day; so my time travels from the Throne down to the Earth.

شَمَمْنَا بِهِ رَيَّـــــا السَّعَـــادَةِ نَقْتَفِــي
رَسُولاً هَـدَانَا نَحْفَظُ السِّرَّ لاَ نُفْشِي

Shamam-nā bihi rayyā al-sa‘ādati naq-tafī
Rasūlan hadānā naḥ-faẓu al-sirra lā nuf-shī

Through him, we have smelled the fragrance of happiness, as we follow a Messenger who guided us; we preserve the secret and do not disclose it.

تَعَالَوْا إِلَى النَّهْجِ السَّــــوِيِّ لِنَعْبُــدَنْ
إِلَـــهًا بَـــرَانَا لاَ لِسَنْتٍ وَلاَ مَنْــشِ

Ta‘ālaw ila al-nahji al-sawiyyi li-na‘budan
Ilāhan barānā lā li-santin wa-lā man-shī

Come to the upright path so that we may worship a God who created us—not for any triviality or vanity.

شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ مَتَى انْهَارَ لَنْ تَرَى
سَبِيلَ سَلاَمٍ غَيْرَ خِزْيٍ مَعَ الْخَــدْشِ

Shafā jurufin hārin matā-nhāra lan tarā
Sabīla salāmin ghayra khiz-yin ma‘a al-khad-shī

[It is like] the brink of a crumbling precipice; once it collapses, you will see no way of safety, only disgrace and injury.

فَيَا وَيْحَ مَنْ أَمْسَـى مُحَمَّـــدُ خَصْمَهُ
لَدَى يَوْمِ حَشْرِ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ وَالْوَحْشِ

Fa-yā wayḥa man amsā Muḥammadu khaṣ-mahu
Lada yawmi ḥash-ri al-jinni wal-insi wal-waḥ-shī

Woe to the one who finds Muhammad to be his adversary on the Day of the Gathering of jinn, men, and beasts.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
بِهَا رَفْعُ إِخْوَانِي وَصَحْبِي كَذَا كِرْشِي

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Bihā raf-‘u ikhwānī wa-ṣaḥ-bī kadhā kir-shī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through it is the elevation of my brothers, my companions, and my family.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ
صَلاَةً بِهَا نَنْجُو مِنَ الْخِزْيِ وَالْبَطْـــشِ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Ṣalātan bihā nanjū minal-khiz-yi wal-baṭ-shī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which we are saved from disgrace and [Divine] seizure.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
أَكُونُ وَأَحْبَابِي عَلَى نَهْجِهِ نَمْشِــي

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Akūnu wa-aḥbābī ‘ala nahjihi nam-shī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may I and my beloveds continue to walk upon his path.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
وَيَحْلُو مَمَاتِي ثُمَّ يَحْلُو كَذَا عَيْشِي

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-yaḥlū mamātī thumma yaḥlū kadhā ‘ay-shī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my death be sweet, and likewise, may my life be sweet.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ مَا هُدَى أَحْمَدٍ يَمْشِي

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥ-bin mā huda Aḥmadin yam-shī

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions, as long as the guidance of Ahmad continues to spread.
