Harfur Raa · حَرْفُ الرَّاء

رَأَيْــــتُ ثَنَـــاءَ الْهَاشِمِـــيِّ تَلَـــذُّذِي
وَنِعْمَ مَلاَذِي فِي الْخُطُوبِ وَمُنْقِذِي

Ra’aytu thanā’a-l hāshimiyyi taladh-dhudhī
wa niʿma malādhī fī-l khuṭūbi wa munqidhī

I have found the praise of the Hashemite to be my delight, and what an excellent refuge and savior he is in times of distress.

رَجَعْـــتُ بِــــــهِ لِلَّهِ جَــــلَّ جَلاَلُــــــهُ
وَأَسْنَدْتُ ظَهْرِي عِنْدَهُ وَهْوَ جِهْبِـذِي

Rajaʿtu bihi lillāhi jalla jalāluhu
wa asnadtu ẓahrī ʿindahu wa huwa jihbidhī

Through him I returned to Allah—majestic is His glory—and I leaned my back upon him, for he is my expert guide.

فَلاَ رَبَّ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ لاَ شَيْءَ غَيْـــرُهُ
وَأَحْمَـــدُ بَــابٌ لِلْمُهَيْمِــنِ مُنْقِــذِي

Falā rabba ghayru-llāhi lā shay’a ghayruhu
wa Aḥmadu bābun li-l muhaymini munqidhī

There is no Lord but Allah, there is nothing else besides Him; and Ahmad is a door to the All-Preserving One, my savior.

وَأَسْأَلُــهُ نَصْــــرًا عَزِيــزًا مُـؤَزَّرًا
فَيَرْدَى لِأَقْصَى الذُّلِّ نِكْسُونُ كَالَّذِي

Wa as’aluhu naṣran ʿazīzan mu’azzaran
fa-yardā li-aqṣā-dh dhulli Niksūnu ka-l ladhī

And I ask Him for a mighty and supported victory, so that Nixon may fall into the utmost humiliation like one who—

يَسُوقُ إِلَى دَارِ الْجَحِيــمِ بِسُرْعَـــةٍ
مَيَــارًا وَدَيَّانًــــا فَحُكْمَــــكَ نَفِّـــذِ

Yasūqu ila dāri-l jaḥīmi bi-surʿatin
Mayāran wa Dayyānan fa-ḥukmaka naffidhi

Is driven to the abode of Hellfire with haste; (and likewise) Meir and Dayan—so execute Your judgment.

وَأَخْزِ أَبَانًـــا وَالْأَلُــونَ وَشَــدِّدَنْ
عَلَى الْكُفْرِ بَطْشًا كَيْ يَتِمَّ تَلَـــذُّذِي

Wa akhzi Abānan wa-l Alūna wa shaddidan
ʿala-l kufri baṭshan kay yatimma taladh-dhudhī

And humiliate Eban and Allon, and intensify the strike upon disbelief so that my delight may be complete.

عَلَيْـــــكَ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
تُقَوِّي بِنُورِ الْحَقِّ فِي الدِّينِ مَأْخَـذِي

ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
tuqawwī bi-nūri-l ḥaqqi fī-d dīni ma’khadhī

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; may they strengthen my path in religion with the light of Truth.

عَلَيْـــكَ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَمَزِّقْ جُمُوعَ الْهُودِ لِلْبَحْرِ فَانْبُـذِ

ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
wa mazziq jumūʿa-l hūdi li-l baḥri fa-nbudhi

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; and tear apart the gatherings of the Jews and cast them into the sea.

وَتَنْصُرُ كُلَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَتَرْفَعَــنْ
لَنَا رَايَةَ الْإِسْلاَمِ فِـــي كُــلِّ مَنْفَـذِ

Wa tanṣuru kulla-l muslimīna wa tarfaʿan
lanā rāyata-l islāmi fī kulli manfadhi

And grant victory to all the Muslims and raise for us the banner of Islam in every passage.

عَلَيْــــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَمِنْ وَالِدِي كَهْفِي وَشَيْخِي وَجِهْبِذِي

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
wa min wālidī kahfī wa shaykhī wa jihbidhī

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, and from my father—my cave, my Shaykh, and my expert guide.

عَلَيْهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ
فَتُخْزِي يَهُودَ الْقُـــدْسِ دُونَ مُنَقِّــذِ

ʿAlayhi maʿa-l āli-l kirāmi wa ṣaḥbihi
fa-tukhzī Yahūda-l Qudsi dūna munaqqidhi

Upon him, along with the noble Family and his Companions; so that You may humiliate the Jews of Jerusalem without any savior for them.
