Harful Yaa · حَرْفُ الْيَاءِ

يَقِينِي يَقِينِي رَائِحًا فِيــكَ غَادِيَــا
عَلَى رَغْمِ قَالٍ لِلدِّيَانَــــةِ عَادِيَــا

Yaqīnī yaqīnī rā’iḥan fīka ghādiyā
‘Alā ragh-mi qālin lid-diyānati ‘ādiyā

My certainty, my certainty remains in you, in every evening and every morning, despite the words of those who are hostile to the religion.

يَمِينِي وَخَلْفِي أَحْمَدُ النُّورُ مُرْشِدِي
أَمَامِي إِمَامِي مُهْلِكُ الْكُفْـــرِ مَاحِيَــا

Yamīnī wa-khalfī Aḥmadu al-nūru murshidī
Amāmī imāmī muhliku al-kuf-ri māḥiyā

To my Right and Behind me is Ahmad—the Light, my guide; In front of me is my Imam—the destroyer of disbelief, the eraser.

يَسَارِي يَسَارِي مُصْطَفَى الْكَوْنِ مَسْنَدِي
فَمَنْ كَادَنِـــــي يَلْقَــى الرَّدَى وَالْمَخَازِيَـا

Yasārī yasārī Muṣṭafā al-kawni masnadī
Faman kādanī yalqā al-radā wal-makhāziyā

To my Left, to my Left is the Chosen One of the universe—my support; so whoever plots against me shall meet ruin and disgrace.

يُؤَمِّنُنِــي دُنْيًا وَأُخْـــرًا فَأَقْتَفِــي
مَنَاهِجَــهُ بِالـــرُّوحِ لِلَّهِ سَارِيَـــا

Yu’amminunī dunyan wa-ukhran fa-aqtafī
Manāhijahu bir-rūḥi lillāhi sāriyā

He grants me safety in this world and the next; so I follow his paths with my spirit, traveling toward Allah.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
سَمِيرِي كِتَابُ اللّٰهِ فِي اللَّيْلِ تَالِيَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Samīrī kitābu Allāhi fī al-layli tāliyā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; my late-night companion is the Book of Allah, which I recite.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
تُجِيبُ أَيَا الْمَوْلَى جَمِيعَ دُعَائِيَـــا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Tujību ayā al-Mawlā jamī‘a du‘ā’iyā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; O Master, [through it] answer all of my supplications!

عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
لِأَبْقَى أَشِيدُ الدِّينَ فِي الْجَـوِّ بَانِيَــا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-abqā ashīdu al-dīna fī al-jawwi bāniyā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; so that I may remain building the religion, rising high into the atmosphere.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
أُدَمِّرُ بِالْمَاحِــي جُمُــوعَ عِدَائِيَــا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Udammiru bil-Māḥī jumū‘a ‘idā’iyā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through the "Eraser" (the Prophet), I destroy the gatherings of my enemies.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ شَيَّدُوا الدِّينَ عَالِيَا

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥ-bin shayyadū al-dīna ‘āliyā

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; and upon the family and companions who built the religion high.
