Harfus Siin · حَرْفُ السِّين

سَلاَمٌ علَى خَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ مَـنْ بَسَــطْ
مَوَائِدَ دِينِ اللّٰهِ فِـــي شَكْلِهِ الْوَسَـطْ

Salāmun ʿalā khayri-l bariyyati man basaṭ
mawā’ida dīni-llāhi fī shaklihi-l wasaṭ

Peace be upon the best of creation, the one who spread the tables of the religion of Allah in its balanced and moderate form.

دَعَانَا إِلَى صُنْــعِ الْمَكَــــارِمِ وَالتُّقَــى
وَسَوَّى صُفُوفَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلاَ شَطَطْ

Daʿānā ilā ṣunʿi-l makārimi wa-t tuqā
wa sawwā ṣufūfa-l muslimīna falā shaṭaṭ

He called us to the practice of noble virtues and piety, and he straightened the ranks of the Muslims without any excess.

تَجَنَّبْ جَمِيعَ الظُّلْمِ وَاعْفُ وَأَعْرِضَــنْ
عَنِ الْجَهْلِ وَاللَّغْوِ الْمُشِينِ تَكُنْ وَسَـــطْ

Tajannab jamīʿa-ẓ ẓulmi wa-ʿfu wa-aʿriḍan
ʿani-l jahli wa-l laghwi-l mushīni takun wasaṭ

Avoid all oppression, forgive, and turn away from ignorance and disgraceful idle talk; then you shall be balanced.

إِذَا رُمْتَ أَنْ تَحْيَا كَبِيــرًا وَبَعْـــدَ ذَا
تَصِيرُ سَعِيدًا فَلْتَمَسَّــــكْ بِـــذَا النَّمَطْ

Idhā rumta an taḥyā kabīran wa baʿda dhā
taṣīru saʿīdan faltamassak bi-dhā-n namaṭ

If you desire to live as an eminent person and thereafter become a happy one, then cling to this pattern.

وَلاَ تَتَّكِـــــلْ إِلاَّ عَلَـــى اللّٰهِ وَحْــدَهُ
وَجَاهِدْ بِجِدٍّ كَيْ تَكُونَ كَمَنْ فَــرَطْ

Walā tat-takil illā ʿalā-llāhi waḥdahu
wa jāhid bi-jiddin kay takūna kaman faraṭ

And do not rely on anyone except Allah alone, and strive with diligence so that you may be like those who surpassed others.

وَرَاقِبْ إِلَــهَ الْعَرْشِ جَـــــلَّ جَلاَلُـــهُ
رَقِيبًــا بَصِيرًا مَالِــكَ الْأَمْرِ وَالْخِطَطْ

Wa rāqib ilāha-l ʿarshi jalla jalāluhu
raqīban baṣīran mālika-l amri wa-l khiṭaṭ

And be mindful of the God of the Throne—majestic is His glory—as a Watcher, All-Seeing, the Owner of the command and the plans.

وَصَلِّ عَلَى خَيْرِ الْأَنَــامِ مُحَمَّــــدٍ
لِكَيْ تُلْفَ مَلْحُوظًا لَدَيْهِ وَتُغْتَبَـــطْ

Wa ṣalli ʿalā khayri-l anāmi Muḥammadin
likay tulfa malḥūẓan ladayhi wa tughtabaṭ

And send blessings upon the best of mankind, Muhammad, so that you may be found noticed by him and be an object of envy for your blessings.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ
وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ قَدْ حَمَاهُمْ عَنِ الْغَلَـطْ

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
wa ālin wa ṣaḥbin qad ḥamāhum ʿani-l ghalaṭ

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, and upon the Family and Companions whom He protected from error.
