# Harful Hhaa · حَرْفُ الْهاء

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.** هُوَ الْحِبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَدْ جَاءَ زَائِرَا / لِأَحْمَدَ خَيْرِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَشَاكِـــرَا

_Huwa-l ḥibbu Ibrāhīmu qad jā’a zā’irā / li-Aḥmada khayri-l ʿālamīna wa shākirā_

He is the lover, Ibrahim, who has come as a visitor to Ahmad, the best of the worlds, and as one who is grateful.

**2.** فَمَنْ كَانَ يَنْحُو لِلْمَدِينَــةِ زَائِــرًا / سِوَاهُ فَإِنِّي جِئْتُ أَحْمَدَ زَائِــــرَا

_Fa-man kāna yanḥū li-l madīnati zā’iran / siwāhu fa-inniya ji’tu Aḥmada zā’irā_

Whoever heads toward Medina visiting someone else—as for me, I have come to visit Ahmad.

**3.** لَهُ الْمَسْجِدُ الْأَعْلَى فَطَــهَ مُشِيدُهُ / وَأَقْطَعَهُ رَوْضَ الْجِنَانِ مُجَاوِرَا

_Lahu-l masjidu-l aʿlā fa-Ṭāhā mushīduhu / wa aqṭaʿahu rawḍa-l jināni mujāwirā_

To him belongs the highest mosque; Taha is its builder, and he (Allah) granted him a garden of Paradise as a neighbor.

**4.** يُذَكِّرُنِي دَهْــــرًا مَضَــى وَنَبِيُّنَــا / يَرُوحُ وَيَغْدُو يُبْلِغُ الْوَحْيَ ذَاكِـرَا

_Yudhakkirunī dahran maḍā wa nabiyyunā / yarūḥu wa yaghdu yublighu-l waḥya dhākirā_

It reminds me of an age that passed, when our Prophet would go and come, conveying the revelation and remembering God.

**5.** يَبِيــــتُ يُنَاجِـــي رَبَّـــهُ وَنَهَــارَهُ / يُعَاشِرُنَا يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ نَاصِــرَا

_Yabītu yunājī rabbahu wa nahārahu / yuʿāshirunā yahdī ila-l ḥaqqi nāṣirā_

He spends the night in intimate prayer to his Lord, and by day he lives among us, guiding to the Truth as a helper.

**6.** فَآثَـــارُهُ دَلَّــتْ عَلَيْـــهِ تَبَصَّــــرَنْ / بِمَكَّةَ أَمْرَ الْهَاشِمِي الدَّهْرَ ظَاهِـرَا

_Fa-āthāruhu dallat ʿalayhi tabaṣṣaran / bi-Makkata amra-l hāshimiyyi-d dahra ẓāhirā_

His traces have pointed to him; look closely in Mecca—the matter of the Hashemite has always been manifest.

**7.** وَتِي طَيْبَةٌ هَــاذَاكَ بَدْرٌ وَخَنْــدَقٌ / وَذَا أُحُدٌ تُنْسِيكَ بَدْوًا وَحَاضِــرَا

_Wa tī Ṭaybatun hādhāka Badrun wa khandaqun / wa dhā Uḥudun tunsīka badwan wa ḥāḍirā_

And this is Tayba (Medina), that is Badr and the Trench, and this is Uhud; they make you forget all nomads and city-dwellers.

**8.** فَبَرْهَــامُ يَأْتِــي زَائِــــــرًا مُتَوَسِّـــــلاً / وَمُسْتَشْفِعًا أَرْجُوكَ فِي الْقَبْرِ حَاضِرَا

_Fa-Barhāmu ya’tī zā’iran mutawassilā / wa mustashfiʿan arjūka fī-l qabri ḥāḍirā_

So Barham (Ibrahim) comes as a visitor, seeking a means, and seeking intercession; I hope for your presence in the grave.

**9.** فَكُنْ لِي شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ زَاغَتْ وَأَذْعَنَتْ / وُجُوهٌ وَأَبْصَارٌ تَرَى الْكُلَّ حَائِـــرَا

_Fa-kun liy shafīʿan yawma zāghat wa adhʿanat / wujūhun wa abṣārun tarā-l kulla ḥā’irā_

So be my intercessor on the day when faces and eyes turn away and submit, and you see everyone in confusion.

**10.** وَقَدْ شَابَ وِلْــدَانٌ وَخَافَ مُؤَمَّــنٌ / وَقَدْ بَلَغَتْ كُلُّ الْقُلُوبِ الْحَنَاجِــــرَا

_Wa qad shāba wildānun wa khāfa mu’ammanun / wa qad balaghati kullu-l qulūbi-l ḥanājirā_

When children's hair turns gray, and the one once safe becomes afraid, and all hearts reach the throats.

**11.** وَكُلُّ بَرِيءٍ قَالَ نَفْسِي وَقَدْ جَثَا / الْجَمِيعُ فَلاَ تُلْفِـــي هُنَاكَ أَكَابِــرَا

_Wa kullu barī’in qāla nafsī wa qad jathā / al-jamīʿu falā tulfī hunāka akābirā_

And every innocent soul says "myself, myself," and everyone has knelt; you shall find no "great ones" there.

**12.** وَلاَ مَلِكًــــا إِلاَّ الْإِلَـــــــهَ وَشَافِعًــــــا / سِوَى الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَارِ بَدْءًا وَآخِرَا

_Walā malikan illa-l ilāha wa shāfiʿā / siwā-l muṣṭafā-l mukhtāri bad’an wa ākhirā_

Nor any king except God, nor any intercessor except the chosen Mustafa, from the beginning to the end.

**13.** فَمُعْتَمَــــدِي حَقًّـــا عَطَاءُ مُحَمَّــدٍ / وَهَلْ يَتَحَدَّانِي الزَّمَانُ مُكَابِـــرَا

_Fa-muʿtamadī ḥaqqan ʿaṭā’u Muḥammadin / wa hal yataḥaddānī-z zamānu mukābirā_

My true reliance is on the gift of Muhammad; can time ever challenge me with arrogance?

**14.** لِنَفْسِي وَآبَائِي وَنَسْلِي وَرُفْقَتِــي / شَفَاعَتُهُ وَالْحَقُّ أَبْـــدَى السَّرَائِــرَا

_Li-nafsī wa ābā’ī wa naslī wa rufqatī / shafāʿatuhu wa-l ḥaqqu abdā-s sarā’irā_

For myself, my fathers, my lineage, and my companions is his intercession; and the Truth has revealed the secrets.

**15.** رِضَى اللّٰهِ عَنْ شَيْخِي وَأَصْلِي وَمُرْشِدِي / وَقَدْ عَاشَ يَهْدِينَا إِلَــى الدِّينِ نَاصِــرَا

_Riḍā-llāhi ʿan shaykhī wa aṣlī wa murshidī / wa qad ʿāsha yahdīnā ila-d dīni nāṣirā_

May the pleasure of Allah be upon my Shaykh, my origin, and my guide; he lived guiding us to the religion as a helper.

**16.** بِغَـــــزْوٍ وَتَعْلِيـــمٍ وَحَـــجٍّ وَهِجْــرَةٍ / وَعَاشَ شَكُورًا وَهْوَ قَدْ عَاشَ صَابِرَا

_Bi-ghazwin wa taʿlīmin wa ḥajjin wa hijratin / wa ʿāsha shakūran wa huwa qad ʿāsha ṣābirā_

Through striving, teaching, pilgrimage, and migration; he lived as a grateful one, and he lived as a patient one.

**17.** عَلَيْـــــكَ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / أَتَيْتُـــــكَ بَــرًّا ثُــمَّ بَحْـــرًا وَطَائِــرَا

_ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / ataytuka barran thumma baḥran wa ṭā’irā_

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; I came to you by land, then by sea, and by air.

**18.** بِنَفْسِي وَأَوْلاَدِي وَصَحْبِي وَأُسْرَتِي / فَأَتْحِفْ لَنَا الرِّضْوَانَ بَطْنًا وَظَاهِـرَا

_Bi-nafsī wa awlādī wa ṣaḥbī wa usratī / fa-atḥif lanā-r riḍwāna baṭnan wa ẓāhirā_

With my soul, my children, my companions, and my family; so gift us with Divine Pleasure, inwardly and outwardly.

**19.** عَلَيْــــــكَ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / وَآلٍ وَأَزْوَاجٍ وَمَـنْ كَانَ عَاشَــرَا

_ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / wa ālin wa azwājin wa man kāna ʿāsharā_

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family, the wives, and whoever was his companion.
