Harful Hhaa · حَرْفُ الْهاء

هُدَى الْمُنْحَمِنَّا مُعْجِبِي لَسْتُ أَعْجَبُ
لِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْأَشْيَا سِـــوَاهُ وَأَرْغَـبُ

Hudā-l munḥaminna muʿjibī lastu aʿjabu
li-shay’in mina-l ashyā siwāhu wa arghabu

The guidance of the Bestower is what pleases me; I do not wonder at anything among all things except him, and him I desire.

رَسُولٌ سُمَاهُ صَادِقٌ لَيْــسَ نَاطِقًــا
بِشَيْءٍ سِوَى وَحْيِ الْإِلَــهِ وَيُعْرِبُ

Rasūlun sumāhu ṣādiqun laysa nāṭiqan
bi-shay’in siwā waḥyi-l ilāhi wa yuʿribu

A Messenger whose name is Truthful, who does not speak of anything except the revelation of God, which he clarifies.

فَحَقٌّ يَقِيـــنٌ مَا سِــــوَاهُ مُشَكَّــكٌ
وَمُحْتَمِلٌ تَحْقِيقَــهُ الدَّهْرَ يَتْعَــبُ

Fa-ḥaqqun yaqīnun mā siwāhu mushakkakun
wa muḥtamilun taḥqīquhu-d dahra yatʿabu

It is the certain truth; anything else is doubtful and merely possible, and seeking its realization is an exhausting task.

فَمَــنْ لِسِــوَى الْهَادِي يَرُومُ قِيَادَتِي
فَـذَاكَ الْمُعَنَّى وَهْوَ أَشْقَى وَأَخْيَـبُ

Fa-man li-siwā-l hādī yarūmu qiyādatī
fa-dhāka-l muʿannā wa huwa ashqā wa akhyabu

Whoever seeks to lead me toward other than the Guide, he is the one in toil, and he is the most wretched and disappointed.

فَلَــمْ أَرْضَ تَغْيِيــراً وَلَسْتُ مُبَــدِّلاً
فَمَذْهَبَ غَيْرِ الْهَاشِمِي لَسْتُ أَذْهَـبُ

Fa-lam arḍa taghyīran wa lastu mubaddilan
fa-madhhaba ghayri-l hāshimiyyi lastu adhhabu

I have not accepted any change nor am I one to substitute; for toward any path other than the Hashemite's, I shall not go.

وَنَهْجُ سَبِيلِــي وَاضِـــحٌ لِمَــنِ اهْتَــدَى
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ يَبْغِي اعْوِجَاجِي وَيَطْلُبُ

Wa nahju sabīlī wāḍiḥun li-man-ihtadā
wa qad khāba man yabghī-ʿwijājī wa yaṭlubu

The course of my way is clear for those who are guided, and he has failed who seeks or desires my deviation.

عَلَى السَّلَفِ الْأَعْلاَمِ رِضْوَانُ رَبِّهِمْ
فَقَدْ دَرَسُوا نَهْـــجَ الْأَمِينِ وَهَذَّبُــوا

ʿAlā-s salafi-l aʿlāmi riḍwānu rabbihim
fa-qad darasū nahja-l amīni wa haddhabū

Upon the eminent predecessors be the pleasure of their Lord, for they studied the path of the Trustworthy one and refined it.

وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ سِوَى قَفْوِ أَحْمَـدٍ
وَلَيْسَ لَنَــا بَلْــــهَ ابْتِدَاعًا يُعَقَّــبُ

Wa laysa lahum shay’un siwā qafwi Aḥmadin
wa laysa lanā bal-ha-btidāʿan yuʿaqqabu

They had nothing other than the following of Ahmad, and we have no room for any subsequent innovations.

عَلَــى ذَا دَرَجْنَـــا لاَ مَلاَمَ فَكُلُّنَــا
عَلَيْـهِ اخْتِيَارٌ كَيْفَ يَنْحُو وَيَذْهَبُ

ʿAlā dhā darajnā lā malāma fa-kullunā
ʿalayhi-khtiyārun kayfa yanḥū wa yadhabu

Upon this we have grown, and there is no blame, for each of us has the choice in how he inclines and where he goes.

أَلاَ فَشْهَدُوا أَنِّي أُحِـــبُّ مُحَمَّــدًا
وَأَبْغَضُ كُفْرَانًــا كَنَارٍ تَلَهَّـــبُ

Alā fa-shhadū annī uḥibbu Muḥammadan
wa abghaḍu kufrānan ka-nārin talahhabu

Verily, bear witness that I love Muhammad, and I hate disbelief like a blazing fire.

أَحَـــبُّ إِلَــيَّ مِــنْ وَلِيدِي وَوَالِــدِي
وَنَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي بَلْهَ مَا لِي سَيُحْسَبُ

Aḥabbu ilayya min walīdī wa wālidī
wa nafsī wa ahlī bal-ha mā liy sayuḥsabu

He is dearer to me than my child and my father, and my soul and my family, let alone whatever wealth may be counted.

أُحِبُّ لِـــذَاتِ اللّٰهِ حَقًّـــا وَإِنَّنِــي
حَلاَ لِيَ إِيمَانِي وَنَهجِي مُهَـذَّبُ

Uḥibbu li-dhāti-llāhi ḥaqqan wa innanī
ḥalā liy īmānī wa nahjī muhaddhabu

I love truly for the sake of Allah, and indeed, my faith has become sweet to me and my path is refined.

فَإِنْ فَاخَــرَ الْأَقْوَامُ حَقًّــا فَإِنَّنِـــي
أُفَـاخِرُ بِالْهَادِي الْأَمِينِ وَأَطْرَبُ

Fa-in fākhara-l aqwāmu ḥaqqan fa-innanī
ufākhiru bi-l hādi-l amīni wa aṭrabu

If nations truly boast, then I boast of the Trustworthy Guide and I am filled with joy.

وَرَبِّي وَرَبِّي اللّٰهُ حَقًّـا فَلَمْ أَخَفْ
لِتَهْدِيـــدِ جَبَّــارٍ حَجَـــــا يَتَقَلَّـــبُ

Wa rabbī wa rabbī-llāhu ḥaqqan falam akhaf
li-tahdīdi jabbārin ḥajā yataqallabu

My Lord—and my Lord is truly Allah—so I have not feared the threat of any tyrant whose intellect is wavering.

فَلَمْ أَرْجُ مَخْلُوقًا وَلَسْـــــتُ بِطَــامِعٍ
لِشَخْصٍ سِـوَى شَخْصٍ لِرَبِّي يُقَرِّبُ

Fa-lam arju makhlūqan wa lastu bi-ṭāmiʿin
li-shakhṣin siwā shakhṣin li-rabbī yuqarribu

I have not placed hope in any creature, nor am I covetous of any person except the person who brings me closer to my Lord.

وُقُوْفِــي لَــدَى بَــابِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ دَائِمًـا
وَفَقْـــرِي إِلَيْــهِ لاَ لِمَلْـــكٍ يُحَجَّــبُ

Wuqūfī ladā bābi-l muhaymini dā’iman
wa faqrī ilayhi lā li-malkin yuḥajjabu

My standing is always at the door of the All-Preserving, and my poverty is toward Him, not toward any king who is veiled.

غَنِيــتُ بِــهِ يَكْفِي لِفَقْـرِي وَفَاقَتِــي
يُلِيـنُ الْقَوَاسِي وَهْوَ مَغْنَايَ يُخْصِبُ

Ghanītu bihi yakfī li-faqrī wa fāqatī
yulīnu-l qawāsī wa huwa maghnāya yukhiṣbu

I have become enriched through Him, and He suffices for my poverty and need; He softens the hard things and He is my fertile sanctuary.

وَيُدْنِـي بَعِيــــدًا وَالْمَنَــالَ يُنِيلُــهُ
فَأَفْضَلُ مَنْ يُعْلِي وَمَنْ قَدْ يُرَتِّبُ

Wa yudnī baʿīdan wa-l manāla yunīluhu
fa-afḍalu man yuʿlī wa man qad yurattibu

He brings near what is distant and grants the attainment of goals; He is the best of those who elevate and those who ordain.

صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ عَلَـــى خَيْرِ هَاشِــمٍ
مَعَ الْآلِ طُرًّا ثُـمَّ مَنْ كَانَ يَصْحَبُ

Ṣalātun wa taslīmun ʿalā khayri hāshimin
maʿa-l āli ṭurran thumma man kāna yaṣḥabu

Blessings and peace be upon the best of Hashim, along with all the Family and then whoever keeps his company.
