Harfus Swaad · حَرْفُ الصَّادِ

صَفَا لِيَ وَقْتِي وَالْحَبِيــبُ يُخَصِّــصُ
وَإِنِّـيَ مَحْبُــوبٌ لِطَـــهَ مُخَصَّــــصُ

Ṣafā liya waqtī wal-ḥabību yukhaṣṣiṣu
Wa-inniya maḥbūbun li-Ṭāhā mukhaṣṣaṣu

My time has become pure, and the Beloved has distinguished me; indeed, I am a beloved specially designated for Taha.

مُرَادٌ لِحَمْلِ السِّرِّ مِنْ قَبْلِ نَشْأَتِــي
مُرَبٍّ لِكُــلِّ الْعَارِفِينَ وَمُخْلِـــصُ

Murādun li-ḥamli al-sirri min qabli nash’atī
Murabbin li-kulli al-‘ārifīna wa-mukhliṣu

I was intended to carry the Secret before my very existence; an educator for all the gnostics and one who is sincere.

وَإِنْ دَهِشَ الْأَقْطَابُ يَوْمًا بِمَشْهَدٍ
رَأَوْنِـيَ وَانْقَادُوا إِلَيَّ وَأَخْلَصُـوا

Wa-in dahisha al-aqṭābu yawman bi-mash-hadin
Ra’awniya wan-qādū ilayya wa-akhlaṣū

And if the "Poles" (Aqtāb) were ever dazed by a spiritual vision, they saw me and submitted to me with sincerity.

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ نَــصَّ بِأَنَّنِـــي
سَفِيرٌ لَـــهُ فِي الْكَائِنَاتِ مُخَلِّصُ

Ra’aytu Rasūla Allāhi naṣ-ṣa bi-annī
Safīrun lahu fī al-kā’ināti mukhalliṣu

I saw the Messenger of Allah explicitly stating that I am an ambassador for him in all of existence—a savior.

عَلَيْـــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ سَمَوْا وَتَخَصَّصُوا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-asḥābin samaw wa-takhaṣṣaṣū

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions who rose high and were distinguished
