# Harful Haa · حَرْفُ الْحاء

From [Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/qasaaid/691f292bc02b144934a4ec1f) by [Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/authors/69172463686829cc1d041df5)

**1.** حِبَــــــاءُ رَسُــــولِ اللّٰهِ أَمَّ خِبَائِــي / فَبَحْرِي مَلاَهُ الْهَاشِمِــــي وَإِنَــائِي

_Ḥibā’u rasūli-llāhi amma khibā’ī / fa-baḥrī malāhu-l hāshimiyyu wa-inā’ī_

The gift of the Messenger of Allah has reached my tent; the Hashemite has filled my sea and my vessel.

**2.** حُــرُوبُ الْعِدَى قَــدْ رَدَّهَا وَكَفَاهُمُ / فَبَاؤُوا بِغَيْظٍ حَاسِرِيــــنَ وَرَائِــي

_Ḥurūbu-l ʿidā qad raddahā wa kafāhumu / fa-bā’ū bi-ghayẓin ḥāsirīna warā’ī_

He repelled the wars of the enemies and sufficed against them; they returned in rage, disappointed, behind me.

**3.** حَرَامٌ عَلَى رَاعِي الْحِمَى مِثْلَ أَحْمَدٍ / يَضِلُّ عِقَـــالٌ عَنْــهُ وَسْـــطَ عَــرَاءِ

_Ḥarāmun ʿalā rāʿī-l ḥimā mithla Aḥmadin / yaḍillu ʿiqālun ʿanhu wasṭa ʿarā’ī_

It is impossible for a guardian of the sanctuary like Ahmad that even a camel-tether should be lost from him in the midst of a wasteland.

**4.** حَمَانِـــي وَأَعْلاَنِي وَأَجْــزَلَ نَيْلَــهُ / وَآنَسَنِـــي إِذْ صَــــدَّ أَهْــلُ قِلاَئِــي

_Ḥamānī wa aʿlānī wa ajzala naylahu / wa ānasanī idh ṣadda ahlu qilā’ī_

He protected me, elevated me, and bestowed his gifts abundantly; he comforted me when the people of hatred turned away.

**5.** حَفَاوَتُـــهُ تَأْبَـــى الطُّمُــوحَ لِغَيْــرِهِ / فَقَاصِــــــدُهُ يُــزْرِي مُوَيْــهَ إِضَــاءِ

_Ḥafāwatuhu ta’bā-ṭ ṭumūḥa li-ghayrihi / fa-qāṣiduhu yuzrī muwayha iḍā’ī_

His hospitality makes one refuse to aspire toward anyone else; for one who seeks him looks down upon the meager waters of others.

**6.** حَبَانِــي مُرَادِي وَالسَّخَاءُ سَجِيَّــةٌ / لِطَــهَ الْإِمَــامِ الْهَاشِمِــيِّ مُنَائِــي

_Ḥabānī murādī wa-s sakhā’u sajiyyatun / li-Ṭāhā-l imāmi-l hāshimiyyi munā’ī_

He granted me my desire, for generosity is the innate nature of Taha, the Hashemite Imam, my ultimate wish.

**7.** وَإِنِّي مُحِبٌّ شَاعِــرٌ خَـــادِمٌ لَــهُ / كَفَانِي شُؤُونِي وَهْوَ زَادَ عَطَائِي

_Wa innī muḥibbun shāʿirun khādimun lahu / kafānī shu’ūnī wa huwa zāda ʿaṭā’ī_

Indeed I am a lover, a poet, and a servant to him; he has sufficed for all my affairs and increased my provision.

**8.** لَــهُ كُلَّ وَقْتٍ مَــا بَقِيــتُ مَحَبَّةً / مَدَائِــحُ تُبْدِي لِلْأَمِيــنِ وَلاَئِـــي

_Lahu kullu waqtin mā baqītu maḥabbatan / madā’iḥu tubdī li-l amīni walā’ī_

For him, at all times as long as I remain in love, are praises that manifest my loyalty to the Trustworthy one.

**9.** تَذَكُّــرُهُ شُغْلِي وَأُنْسِــي وَخِدْمَتِــي / وَذِكْرُ الْمُقَفَّى فِي السِّقَـــامِ دَوَائِـــي

_Tadhakkuruhu shughlī wa unsī wa khidmatī / wa dhikru-l muqaffā fī-s siqāmi dawā’ī_

Remembering him is my occupation, my intimacy, and my service; and the mention of the Final Prophet is my medicine in sickness.

**10.** وَزَادِي وَمَرْكُوبِي وَسَيْفِي وَشَيْظَمِي / وَجَيْشِي وَدِرْعِــــي لَــمْ أُبَــلْ بِعِدَائِـي

_Wa zādī wa markūbī wa sayfī wa shayẓamī / wa jayshī wa dirʿī lam ubal bi-ʿidā’ī_

He is my provision, my mount, my sword, and my swift steed; my army and my shield, I care not for any enmity against me.

**11.** فَمَنْ رَاشَ نَحْوِي فَالْأَمِيــنُ بِـــدَوْرِهِ / يَرِيــــشُ لَــهُ فَلْيُنْــــــذَرَنْ بِوَبَـــــاءِ

_Fa-man rāsha naḥwī fa-l amīnu bi-dawrihi / yarīshu lahu falyundharan bi-wabā’ī_

Whoever aims an arrow at me, the Trustworthy one in turn aims at him—so let him be warned of a plague.

**12.** وَذِكْرِي حُنَيْنًـــا بَعْــدَ بَدْرٍ وَخَنْـدَقٍ / وَأُحْــــــدٍ وَفَتْـــحٍ لاَ يُقِــلُّ رَجَائِـي

_Wa dhikrī ḥunaynan baʿda badrin wa khandaqin / wa uḥudin wa fatḥin lā yuqillu rajā’ī_

My mention of Hunayn after Badr, Khandaq, Uhud, and the Conquest does not diminish my hope.

**13.** يَقِينِي يَقِينًا مُصْطَفَى الْكَوْنِ إِذْ صَفَا / وِدَادِي لَــهُ إِذْ فِيــهِ عَيْـــنُ بَقَـــائِي

_Yaqīnī yaqīnan muṣṭafā-l kawni idh ṣafā / widādī lahu idh fīhi ʿaynu baqā’ī_

I am certain of the Chosen of the universe, as my affection for him became pure; for in him is the very essence of my remaining.

**14.** فَنَيْــتُ بِــهِ بَعْـــدَ الْبَقَاءِ فَيَسْتَـــوِي / بَقَائِــي بِطَـــهَ الْهَاشِمِي وَفَنَائِـي

_Fanītu bihi baʿda-l baqā’i fa-yastawī / baqā’ī bi-Ṭāhā-l hāshimī wa fanā’ī_

I was annihilated in him after remaining, so my remaining through Taha the Hashemite and my annihilation have become equal.

**15.** فَإِنْ دَهِشَ الْأَقْطَابُ يَوْمًــا لِمَشْرَبٍ / أَقُدْهُمْ لِصَحْوٍ بِاشْتِــــدَادِ رُوَائِــي

_Fa-in dahisha-l aqṭābu yawman li-mashrabin / aqudhum li-ṣaḥwin bi-shtidādi ruwā’ī_

If the spiritual poles (Aqtab) are ever dazed by a spiritual drink, I lead them toward sobriety with the strength of my clarity.

**16.** فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ صَحْوِ الْمَحَبَّةِ سَاقِيًــا / فَلاَ السُّكْرُ يُلْهِـي بَلْ أُدِيــمُ سَقَائِي

_Fa-ashrabu min ṣaḥwi-l maḥabbati sāqiyan / fa-lā-s sukru yulhī bal udīmu saqā’ī_

I drink from the sobriety of love while acting as the cupbearer; intoxication does not distract me, rather I continue my watering.

**17.** بِيُمْــنِ النَّبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ الَّــذِي مَتَى / تَنَفَّسَ فِي قَلْبِي اسْتَبَــانَ ضِيَائِــي

_Bi-yumni-n nabiyyi-l hāshimiyyi-l ladhī matā / tanaffasa fī qalbī-stabāna ḍiyā’ī_

By the blessing of the Hashemite Prophet, who—whenever he breathes within my heart—my light becomes manifest.

**18.** أَفَــــاضَ إِلَـــيَّ مِنْـــهُ حَقًّـا وَإِنَّــهُ / أَفَاضَ لِغَيْرِي مِنْ فُيُوضِ حِبَائِــي

_Afāḍa ilayya minhu ḥaqqan wa innahu / afāḍa li-ghayrī min fuyūḍi ḥibā’ī_

He truly overflowed upon me from himself, and indeed he overflowed to others from the abundance of the gifts he gave me.

**19.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَـــابٍ بُحُـــورِ نَــدَاءِ

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / wa ālin wa aṣḥābin buḥūri nadā’ī_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, and upon the Family and Companions, the oceans of calling.
