Harfud Daal · حَرْفُ الدَّال

دَلِيلِي نَبِيِّي قَائِــدِي وَهْوَ مُرْشِــدِي
وَأَسْعَى لِرَفْعِ الدِّينِ غَيْرَ مُهَــــدَّدِ

Dalīlī nabiyyī qā’idī wa huwa murshidī
wa asʿā li-rafʿi-d dīni ghayra muhaddadi

My guide is my Prophet, my leader, and he is my director; I strive to elevate the religion without being threatened.

دَفَعْتُ عَنِ الدِّينِ الْحَنِيفِ بِكَلْكَلِــي
وَيَا وَيْحَ قَرْنٍ فِي نِطَاحٍ لِجَلْمَـــدِ

Dafaʿtu ʿani-d dīni-l ḥanīfi bi-kalkalī
wa yā wayḥa qarnin fī niṭāḥin li-jalmadi

I defended the primordial religion with all my might; woe to the horn that attempts to butt against a solid rock.

دَسَائِسُ أَهْلِ الْمَكْرِ رُدَّتْ لِنَحْرِهِمْ
وَوَيْلٌ لِمَنْ نَاوَى الرَّقِيبَ بِمَرْصَدِ

Dasā’isu ahli-l makri ruddat li-naḥrihim
wa waylun li-man nāwā-r raqība bi-marṣadi

The plots of the people of deceit were turned back against them; woe to him who opposes the Watchful One from an outpost.

دَعُونِي لِمَدْحِ الْهَاشِمِــــيِّ وَذِكْـرِهِ
غَنِيتُ بِــهِ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ وَهْوَ مَسْنَدِي

Daʿūnī li-madḥi-l hāshimiyyi wa dhikrihi
ghanītu bihi ʿan ghayrihi wa huwa masnadī

Leave me to the praise of the Hashemite and his remembrance; through him I have become independent of all else, and he is my support.

دَرَوْنِي خَدِيمَ الْمُنْحَمِنَّا الَّذِي عَلَتْ
بِهِ الْمِلَّةُ الْغَــــرَّا بِغَيْــبٍ وَمَشْهَـدِ

Darawnī khadīma-l munḥaminna-l ladhī ʿalat
bihi-l millatu-l gharrā bi-ghaybin wa mashhadi

They knew me as the servant of the Bestower through whom the illustrious nation has risen, in the unseen and the seen.

دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى هَدْيِ الْكِتَابِ فَمَنْ بَغَــى
فَذَا السَّيْفُ قَدْ يَهْدِي بِهِ كُلَّ مُعْتَــدِ

Daʿāhum ilā hadyi-l kitābi fa-man baghā
fa-dhā-s sayfu qad yahdī bihi kulla muʿtadi

He called them to the guidance of the Book, and for whoever transgressed, this sword may guide every aggressor.

دَلاَلاَتُ صِدْقٍ قَــدْ تَبَــدَّتْ بِقَوْلِــهِ
وَبِالْفِعْلِ وَالْخُلْقِ الْعَظِيمِ فَقَــدْ قَـدِ

Dalālātū ṣidqin qad tabaddat bi-qawlihi
wa bi-l fiʿli wa-l khulqi-l ʿaẓīmi fa-qad qadi

Evidences of truthfulness appeared through his speech, his actions, and his magnificent character, for he has indeed reached the peak.

شَرِيعَتُـــــــهُ آيَاتُـــهُ وَصِحَـــابُهُ
وَعُنْصُرُهُ مِــنْ بَعْدِ أَفْضَلِ مَوْلِــدِ

Sharīʿatuhu āyātuhu wa ṣiḥābuhu
wa ʿunṣuruhu min baʿdi afḍali mawlidi

His law, his signs, and his companions are his witnesses, along with his noble origin from the best of births.

نَشَا فَائِقًــا فِي الْبِرِّ وَالْعَدْلِ وَالْوَفَا
وَمَا فِيهِ مَذْمُومٌ وَمَا فِيـــهِ مِــنْ دَدِ

Nashā fā’iqan fī-l birri wa-l ʿadli wa-l wafā
wa mā fīhi madhmūmun wa mā fīhi min dadi

He grew up surpassing all in righteousness, justice, and loyalty; there is nothing blameworthy in him, nor is there any vanity.

فَمَـــا ظَلَــمَ الْهَــادِي وَلاَ مَـانَ نَاطِقًــا
وَمَا جَاءَ بِالْفَحْشَا مَدَى الدَّهْرِ صِنْدِدِي

Fa-mā ẓalama-l hādī walā māna nāṭiqan
wa mā jā’a bi-l faḥshā madā-d dahri ṣindidī

The Guide never oppressed, nor did he ever speak a lie; my champion never committed any indecency throughout time.

فَأَفْضَـــلُ خَلْـــــقِ اللّٰهِ حَقًّـــا مُحَمَّــدٌ
وَأَحْمَدُ كُلِّ الرُّسْلِ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَالْغَــدِ

Fa-afḍalu khalqi-llāhi ḥaqqan Muḥammadun
wa aḥmadu kulli-r rusli fī-l yawmi wa-l ghadi

For the best of Allah’s creation truly is Muhammad, and the most praised of all Messengers today and tomorrow.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
فَلِي الْفَخْرُ فِي ذِكْــــرِ الْحَبِيبِ مُحَمَّـدِ

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
fa-liya-l fakhru fī dhikri-l ḥabībi Muḥammadi

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; I take pride in the remembrance of the beloved Muhammad.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
مَدِيحِيَ خَمْرٌ يَزْدَرِي كُـــلَّ صَرْخَـدِ

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
madīḥiya khamrun yazdari kulla ṣarkhadi

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; my praise is a spiritual wine that surpasses every choice vintage.

عَلَيْــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
أَجِرْنِي أَجِرْنِي مُصْطَفَايَ وُ مُنْجِدِي

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
ajirnī ajirnī muṣṭafāya wa munjidī

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; protect me, protect me, O my Chosen one and my helper.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
أَجِرْنِيَ يَا طَـــهَ بِنَيْلِــي لِمَقْصَــدِي

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
ajirniya yā Ṭāhā bi-naylī li-maqṣadī

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; protect me, O Taha, by allowing me to reach my objective.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ كُلُّهُمْ خَيْرُ مُرْشِـدِ

ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
wa ālin wa ṣaḥbin kulluhum khayru murshidi

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, and upon the Family and Companions, all of whom are the best guides.
