**1.** دَعَوْتُ رَسُـــولَ رَبِّ الْخَلْـــقِ طُرَّا / لِيَشْفَــــعَ فِــــي وَيَدْفَـــعَ مَا أَضَــرَّا

_Da‘awtu Rasūla rabbi al-khal-qi ṭurrā / Li-yash-fa‘a fiyya wa-yad-fa‘a mā aḍarrā_

I called upon the Messenger of the Lord of all creation, to intercede for me and repel what has caused me harm.

**2.** مُحَمَّـــــــدُ خَيْـــرُ خَلْــقِ اللّٰهِ طُــرًّا / مُمِـــــدُّ جَمِيعِهِــــمْ سِــرًّا وَجَهْــرَا

_Muḥammadu khayru khal-qi Allāhi ṭurrā / Mumiddu jamī‘ihim sirran wa-jahrā_

Muhammad is the best of Allah's creation, entirely; the provider of aid to all of them, secretly and openly.

**3.** بِأَحْمَدَ قَــــــدْ تَوَسَّـــلَ كُـــلُّ عَبْــدٍ / أَنَــــالَ مَرَامَـــــــهُ وَأَزَالَ ضُــرَّا

_Bi-Aḥmada qad tawassala kullu ‘abdin / Anāla marāmahu wa-azāla ḍurrā_

Through Ahmad, every servant has sought a means (Tawassul); attaining their goals and removing their afflictions.

**4.** فَــــآدَمُ قَــدْ تَوَسَّــــلَ بِالْمُقَفَّـــــى / وَنُـــــــــوحٌ بَعْــدَهُ وَهَلُـــمَّ جَــرَّا

_Fa-Ādamu qad tawassala bil-Muqaffā / Wa-Nūḥun ba‘dahu wa-halumma jarrā_

Even Adam sought a means through the "Followed One" (the Prophet), and Noah after him, and so on and so forth.

**5.** لِهَـــــذَا يَــا إِلَهِـــــي يَا إِلَهِــــــي / أَرُومُ بِهِ الْمَطَالِبَ وَهْـيَ تَتْــرَى

_Li-hādhā yā ilāhī yā ilāhī / Arūmu bi-hi al-maṭāliba wa-hiya tatrā_

For this reason, O my God, O my God! I seek my needs through him, and they come in succession.

**6.** وَقَدْ عَلِــــمَ الْخَلاَئِـــقُ أَنَّ طَـــهَ / الْوَسِيلَةُ لِي إِمَـامُ الْخَلْــقِ طُـرَّا

_Wa-qad ‘alima al-khalā’iqu anna Ṭāhā / Al-wasīlatu lī imāmu al-khal-qi ṭurrā_

The creation has known that Taha is my means—the Imam of all creation.

**7.** وَثِقْــــتُ بِــــهِ وَيَهْـــوَاهُ فُـؤَادِي / وَعَوَّدَنِي الْجَمِيـــلَ أَنَالُ فَخْــرَا

_Wathiqtu bi-hi wa-yah-wāhu fu’ādī / Wa-‘awwadanī al-jamīla anālu fakhrā_

I have placed my trust in him, and my heart loves him; he has accustomed me to beauty, such that I attain glory.

**8.** وَأَعْطَانِــي الْجَزِيــلَ بِكُــلِّ آنٍ / وَجَاوَرَنِي بِذَلِـــكَ نِلْــتُ سِــرَّا

_Wa-a‘ṭānī al-jazīla bi-kulli ānin / Wa-jāwaranī bi-dhālika niltu sirrā_

He has granted me abundantly at every moment, and he has neighbored me—through that, I attained a secret.

**9.** وَرَافَقَنِــــــــي بِبَحْــــرٍ أَوْ بِبَــرٍّ / وَأَعْلاَنِـي عَلَــى الْأَقْـــوَامِ بِـرَّا

_Wa-rāfaqanī bi-baḥ-rin aw bi-barrin / Wa-a‘lānī ‘ala al-aqwāmi birrā_

He accompanied me by sea and by land, and he elevated me above nations in righteousness.

**10.** مُحَمَّدُ وَهْوَ رُوحُ الْحَمْـــدِ سِــرُّ / الْوُجُودِ وَدَافِعُ الْأَصْنَامِ كَسْــرَا

_Muḥammadun wa-huwa rūḥu al-ḥamdi sirru / Al-wujūdi wa-dāfi‘u al-aṣnāmi kasrā_

Muhammad—and he is the Spirit of Praise—is the Secret of Existence, and the crusher who repels the idols.

**11.** مُحَمَّدُ مِدْفَعِي دَهْرِي وَدِرْعِي / وَفِي السَّـــرَّاءِ عُدَّتُنَا وَضَـرَّا

_Muḥammadu mid-fa‘ī dahrī wa-dir‘ī / Wa-fī al-sarrā’i ‘uddatunā wa-ḍarrā_

Muhammad is my cannon throughout time and my shield in times of ease and in times of distress, he is our preparation.

**12.** مُحَمَّدُ سَيِّدِي كَنْــــزِي وَغَوْثِــي / حَبَانِي بِالْمُـــــرَادِ وَزَادَ مَيْــرَا

_Muḥammadu sayyidī kanzī wa-ghawthī / Ḥabānī bil-murādi wa-zāda mayrā_

Muhammad is my master, my treasure, and my rescue; he endowed me with my desire and increased my provisions.

**13.** شِفَائِي عِنْدَ أَمْرَاضِي وَغَيْثِـــي / وَمُسْتَنَدِي لِدَهْرِي حِينَ غَــــرَّا

_Shifā’ī ‘inda amrāḍī wa-ghaythī / Wa-mus-tanadī li-dahrī ḥīna gharrā_

My healing during my illnesses and my rain, my support for my life when it becomes deceptive.

**14.** مُحَمَّدُ مَرْكَزِي وَمَدَارُ أَمْـــرِي / عَلَى الْمَحْمُودِ دُنْيَائِي وَأُخْرَى

_Muḥammadu markazī wa-madāru amrī / ‘Ala al-Maḥmūdi dunyā’ī wa-ukhrā_

Muhammad is my center and the axis of my affairs; upon the "Praised One" (the Prophet) is my world and my hereafter.

**15.** مُحَمَّدُ قُدْوَتِـــي وَأَرَاهُ حَسْبِــي / فَلاَ زَيْدًا وَلاَ عَمْــــرًا وَبَكْــرَا

_Muḥammadu qudwatī wa-arāhu ḥasbī / Falā Zaydan wa-lā ‘Amran wa-Bakrā_

Muhammad is my role model and I find him sufficient for me; i need not Zayd, nor 'Amr, nor Bakr (anyone else).

**16.** نَدِيمِي سُنَّــــةُ الْمُخْتَــارِ لاَ لاَ / عَلَى غَيْرِ الْحَدِيثِ أَرُومُ خَيْرَا

_Nadīmī sunnatu al-Mukhtāri lā lā / ‘Alā ghayri al-ḥadīthi arūmu khayrā_

My intimate companion is the Sunnah of the Chosen One; no, indeed, I seek no good in anything other than the Hadith.

**17.** سَأَرْفَعُهَـا وَأَقْبِضُهَــــا جِهَــارًا / عَلَى ذَا فَلْيَلُمْنِــي النَّاسُ طُــرَّا

_Sa-ar-fa‘uhā wa-aq-biḍuhā jihāran / ‘Alā dhā fal-yalumnī al-nāsu ṭurrā_

I shall raise it (the Sunnah) and hold fast to it openly; for this, let all the people blame me if they wish.

**18.** إِذَا رَضِـــيَ الْأَمِينُ فَــلاَ أُبَالِي / أَذَمَّ سِـــوَاهُ أَمْ أَطْــرَا وَأَطْــرَا

_Idhā raḍiya al-Amīnu falā ubālī / A-dhamma siwāhu am aṭrā wa-aṭrā_

If the "Trustworthy One" is pleased, I do not care whether others criticize or offer excessive praise.

**19.** إِذَا كَانَ النَّصِيبُ سِوَى الْمُقَفَّـى / فَإِنِّي لاَ أَرَى لِيَ الْحَظَّ دَهْــرَا

_Idhā kāna al-naṣību siwā al-Muqaffā / Fa-innī lā arā liya al-ḥaẓ-ẓa dahrā_

If my portion were to be anything other than the "Followed One," then I would consider myself to have no fortune at all.

**20.** صَــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ يَتْبَعُهَـــا سَــلاَمٌ / عَلَى عَبْدٍ بِــــهِ مَوْلاَهُ أَسْــرَى

_Ṣalātu Allāhi yatba‘uhā salāmun / ‘Alā ‘abdin bi-hi mawlāhu asrā_

May the prayer of Allah be followed by His peace, upon the servant with whom his Lord traveled by night (Isra).

**21.** وَآلٍ ثُــــمَّ أَصْحَــابٍ كِــــــرَامٍ / نُجُومِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَلَــــوْهُ نَصْـرَا

_Wa-ālin thumma aṣ-ḥābin kirāmin / Nujūmi al-muh-tadīna wa-law-hu naṣrā_

And upon the family and noble companions, the stars of the guided ones who aided him.
