Harfuz Zwaa · حَرْفُ الظَّاء

ظَمَائِي بِخَيْرِ الْهَاشِمِي الدَّهْرَ لَنْ يُرْوَى
وَقَدْ لَذَّ ذِكْـــــــرَاهُ لَكَالْمَـــنِّ وَالسَّلْــوَى

Ẓamā’ī bi-khayri-l hāshimiyyi-d dahra lan yurwā
wa qad ladhdha dhikrāhu ka-l manni wa-s salwā

My thirst for the best of the Hashemites will never be quenched throughout time, for his remembrance has become sweet like manna and quails.

ذَرِينِيَ دَعْــــدًا إِنَّ قَلْبِيَ لَـــنْ يَهْـــوَى
سِوَى أَحْمَدٍ مَاحِي الضَّلاَلاَتِ وَالْبَلْوَى

Dharīniya Daʿdan inna qalbī lan yahwā
siwā Aḥmada māḥī-ḍ ḍalālāti wa-l balwā

Leave me, O Da'd, for my heart shall never love anyone except Ahmad, the eraser of misguidances and trials.

ظَلَمْتُ إِذَا كَابَــــدْتُ حُـــبَّ سِوَائِــهِ
وَطَـــهَ حَبَانِي نِلْتُ غَايَتِيَ الْقُصْوَى

Ẓalamtu idhā kābadtu ḥubba siwā’ihi
wa Ṭāhā ḥabānī niltu ghāyatiya-l quṣwā

I would be unjust if I endured the love of any other, while Taha has gifted me and I have attained my ultimate goal.

وَهُو خَيْرُ خَلْقِ اللّٰهِ خُلْقًــا وَخِلْقَـــةً
لِوَا الْحَمْدِ فِي كَفَّيْهِ أَيْنَ لَهُ شَــرْوَى

Wa hu khayru khalqi-llāhi khulqan wa khilqatan
liwā-l ḥamdi fī kaffayhi ayna lahu sharwā

He is the best of Allah’s creation in character and form; the Banner of Praise is in his hands, where is his equal?

تَحَدَّيْتُ بِالْهَادِي الْعِبَــــادَ فَمَـــنْ لَــهُ
رَسُولٌ كَمِثْلِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ أَبِي الْأَضْـوَا

Taḥaddaytu bi-l hādī-l ʿibāda fa-man lahu
rasūlun ka-mithli-l hāshimiyyi abī-l aḍwā

Through the Guide, I challenged all servants: who has a Messenger like the Hashemite, the father of lights?

أَبِي الْقَاسِــــمِ الْمَنْصُــــورِ بِاللّٰهِ وَحْــدَهُ
شَفِيعِي وَمَأْمُونِي الْمَكِي رَاكِبِ الْقَصْوَا

Abī-l Qāsimi-l manṣūri bi-llāhi waḥdahu
shafīʿī wa ma’mūnī-l makkī rākibi-l Qaṣwā

The father of Qasim, the one aided by Allah alone, my intercessor, my trusted one, the Meccan, the rider of al-Qaswa.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
صَلاَةً تَقِينَا الْبَأْسَ وَالضُّـــرَّ وَاللَّأْوَا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
ṣalātan taqīnā-l ba’sa wa-ḍ ḍurra wa-l la’wā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; a blessing that protects us from hardship, harm, and distress.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
تَقِينَا جَمِيعَ الشَّرِّ وَالْبَغْـــيَ وَاللَّغْــوَا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
taqīnā jamīʿa-sh sharri wa-l baghya wa-l laghwā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; protecting us from all evil, oppression, and idle talk.

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
تُنِيلُ الْمُنَى لِلْعَبْدِ وَالْتَكْفِهِ الْبَلْـــوَى

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
tunīlu-l munā li-l ʿabdi wa-l takfihi-l balwā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; granting the servant his desires and sufficing him against trials.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
تُسَخِّرُ لِي دَهْرِي وَتَحْفَظُ لِي الْمَثْوَى

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
tusakhkhiru lī dahrī wa taḥfaẓu lī-l mathwā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; making time subservient to me and preserving my final abode.

عَلَيْــهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِــــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ
وَمَنْ سَلَكُوا نَهْجَ الْأَمِينِ وَمَنْ يَهْوَى

ʿAlayhi maʿa-l āli-l kirāmi wa ṣaḥbihi
wa man salakū nahja-l amīni wa man yahwā

Upon him, along with the noble Family and his Companions, and whoever follows the path of the Trustworthy one and whoever loves him.
