Harful Yaa · حَرْفُ الْيَاءِ

إِنَّ لِي فَرْحَـــةً بِــذِكْـــرِ نَبِــيِّ
حُبُّهُ صَارَ ظَاهِــرِي وَخَفِيِّــي

Inna lī far-ḥatan bi-dhik-ri nabiyyī
Ḥubbuhu ṣāra ẓāhirī wa-khafiyyī

I have a profound joy in the mention of my Prophet; his love has become my manifest and my hidden reality.

إِنَّــهُ بُغْيَتِــــي وَمُنْيَــةُ قَلْبِــي
وَخَفِيرِي وَجُعْبَتِي وَعِصِيِّـي

Innahu bugh-yatī wa-mun-yatu qalbī
Wa-khafīrī wa-ju‘batī wa-‘iṣiyyī

He is my quest and the desire of my heart; my protector, my quiver, and my staff.

وَهْــوَ خِلِّي حَقًّا وَجَنَّةُ خُلْـــدِي
وَأَمِينِــي وَمَلْجَــــإِي وَصَفِيِّــي

Wa-huwa khillī ḥaqqan wa-jannatu khuldī
Wa-amīnī wa-malja’ī wa-ṣafiyyī

He is truly my intimate friend and my paradise of eternity; my trustworthy one, my refuge, and my pure elite.

وَهْوَ كَنْزِي وَذُخْرَتِي وَمَــلاَذِي
وَهْوَ عُمْرِي مُسْتَقْبَلِي وَمُضِيِّي

Wa-huwa kanzī wa-dhukhratī wa-malādhī
Wa-huwa ‘um-rī mus-taqbalī wa-muḍiyyī

He is my treasure, my storehouse, and my sanctuary; he is my life—my future and my past.

فَيَقِينِي دَهْــــرِي يَقِينِــي يَقِينًــا
لَسْتُ أَخْشَى قِلًى حَيَاةَ الْخَلِيِّ

Fa-yaqīnī dahrī yaqīnī yaqīnan
Lastu akh-shā qilan ḥayāta al-khaliyyī

My certainty throughout time protects me with absolute certainty; I do not fear the abandonment of a life of loneliness.

لاِنْتِصَارِي بِالْمُصْطَفَى فِي حَيَاتِي
وَهْــــوَ كَهْفِــي وَمُنْقِــذِي وَوَلِـيِّـي

Li-ntiṣārī bil-Muṣ-ṭafā fī ḥayātī
Wa-huwa kah-fī wa-munqidhī wa-waliyyī

For my victory is through the Chosen One in my life; he is my cave, my rescuer, and my guardian.

حَسْبِـــيَ اللّٰهُ وَالْأَمِيــــنُ وَلِيًّــــا
وَكَفَى بِالْخِلِّ الصَّــدُوقِ الْوَفِـيِّ

Ḥasbiya Allāhu wal-Amīnu waliyyan
Wa-kafā bil-khilli al-ṣadūqi al-wafiyyī

Allah is sufficient for me, and the Trustworthy One is my guardian; sufficient is the truthful and loyal friend.

لَسْتُ أَخْشَى كَيْدَ الزَّمَانِ وَلاَ مَكْـ
ــرَ الْأَعَـــادِي وَلاَ بَــذَاءَ الْبَـذِيِّ

Lastu akh-shā kayda al-zamāni wa-lā mak-
ra al-a‘ādī wa-lā badhā’a al-badhiyyī

I do not fear the plots of time, nor the schemes of enemies, nor the obscenity of the foul-mouthed.

وَعَلَيْــــــهِ مِـــنَ الْإِلَـــهِ صَــلاَةٌ
وَسَــــلاَمٌ دَوَامَ فَضْـــــلِ النَّبِــيِّ

Wa-‘alayhi mina al-ilāhi ṣalātun
Wa-salāmun dawāma faḍ-li al-nabiyyī

Upon him be prayer from the God, and peace, as lasting as the bounty of the Prophet.
