Harful Daal · حَرْفُ الدَّالِ
From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass
يَا سَيِّدِي يَا رَسُــــولَ اللّٰهِ خُــذْ بِيَدِي
فَلَمْ أَجِدْ غَيْرَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ لِي سَنَدِي
Yā sayyidī yā Rasūla Allāhi khudh bi-yadī
Falam ajid ghayra khayri al-khalqi lī sanadī
O my master, O Messenger of Allah, take my hand; I have found none besides the best of creation as my support.
وَيَسِّـــرَنَّ أُمُــورِي إِنَّنِي وَجِــلٌ
وَعَاجِزٌ وَذَلِيلٌ أَنْـــتَ مُعْتَمَــدِي
Wa-yassiranna umūrī innanī wajilun
Wa-‘ājizun wa-dhalīlun anta mu‘tamadī
And make easy my affairs, for I am fearful, helpless, and lowly; you are the one upon whom I rely.
وَشُدَّ فَقْرِي وَلاَ آوِي إِلَى أَحَـــدٍ
إِنِّي أَخُو ثِقَةٍ أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا بِيَــدِي
Wa-shudda faqrī wa-lā āwī ila aḥadin
Innī akhū thiqatin an ta’khudhū bi-yadī
Repair my poverty and let me not take refuge with anyone else; I am full of confidence that you will take my hand.
لَوْلاَكَ لَمْ يَقَعِ التَّكْوِينُ مَا خُلِقَتْ
شَمْسٌ وَلاَ قَمَرٌ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَنَـــدِي
Lawlāka lam yaqa‘i al-takwīnu mā khuliqat
Shamsun wa-lā qamarun ilayka mustanadī
Were it not for you, the universe would not have come into being; neither sun nor moon would have been created; to you is my reliance.
