**1.** رَفَعْتُ لِوَاءَ الدِّيـــنِ بِالذِّكْـــرِ صَارِخَــا / وَذِكْرِي وَوُدِّي كَانَ فِي الْقَلْبِ رَاسِخَا

_Rafaʿtu liwā’a-d dīni bi-dh dhikri ṣārikhan / wa dhikrī wa wuddī kāna fī-l qalbi rāsikhā_

I raised the banner of the religion, crying out with the Remembrance; and my remembrance and my love were firmly rooted in the heart.

**2.** فَيَا مَا أُحَيْلَى ذِكْرُ طَـــهَ مُحَمَّــــــدٍ / رَسُولٍ أَتَى بِالذِّكْرِ لِلْغَيْرِ نَاسِخَــــا

_Fa-yā mā uḥaylā dhikru Ṭāhā Muḥammadin / rasūlin atā bi-dh dhikri li-l ghayri nāsikhā_

O how sweet is the mention of Taha Muhammad, a Messenger who brought the Remembrance as an abrogator for others.

**3.** أَلاَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِالْحَبْلِ حَبْلِ مُحَمَّــدٍ / رِجَالاً وَأَطْفَالاً نِسًا وَمَشَايِخَــــا

_Alā-ʿtaṣimū bi-l ḥabli ḥabli Muḥammadin / rijālan wa aṭfālan nisan wa mashāyikhā_

Verily, cling to the rope—the rope of Muhammad—men and children, women and elders.

**4.** تَفُوقُوا رِجَالاً مُدْلِجِينَ قَدَ ادْمَنُــــوا / مَسِيرًا وَجَابُوا فَدْفَدًا وَسَرَابِخَــا

_Tafūqū rijālan mudlijīna qadi-dmanū / masīran wa jābū fadfadan wa sarābikhā_

You shall surpass men traveling by night who have made a habit of the journey and crossed wastelands and empty deserts.

**5.** بِخَيْرِ نَبِيٍّ جَاءَ مِــنْ خَيْــرِ مَالِــــكٍ / بِبَرْزَخِ أَقْطَابٍ قَدْ أَمْسَوْا بَرَازِخَـــا

_Bi-khayri nabiyyin jā’a min khayri mālikin / bi-barzakhi aqṭābin qad amsaw barāzikhā_

By the best of Prophets who came from the best of Owners, through the isthmus (barzakh) of spiritual poles who themselves became isthmuses.

**6.** عَلَيْــــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / تُوَاصِلُنِي مَا جُبْـــتُ حِسًّا فَرَاسِخَـا

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / tuwāṣilunī mā jubtu ḥissan farāsikhā_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; may they reach me across every league of distance I physically traverse.

**7.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / وَأَعْلُو بِهَادِي الْخَلْــــقِ شُمًّــا شَوَامِخَا

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / wa aʿlū bi-hādī-l khalqi shumman shawāmikhā_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; may I rise through the Guide of creation to the loftiest of heights.

**8.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / أَهُــدُّ بِذِكْـــرَاهُ الْجِبَـــالَ الرَّوَاسِخَــا

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / ahuddu bi-dhikrāhu-l jibāla-r rawāsikhā_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; may I demolish the firmly rooted mountains with his remembrance.

**9.** عَلَيْهِ مَـــعَ الْآلِ الْكِرَامِ وَصَحْبِـــهِ / وَكُلُّهُمُ بِالذِّكْرِ قَــــدْ كَانَ صَارِخَــا

_ʿAlayhi maʿa-l āli-l kirāmi wa ṣaḥbihi / wa kulluhumu bi-dh dhikri qad kāna ṣārikha_

Upon him, along with the noble Family and his Companions; and every one of them was crying out with the Remembrance.
