أعد علي حديث المنحنى أعد

1. Repeat to me the soft words, repeat them
For you have reminded me, so delight my hearing and increase

١. أَعِد عَلَيَّ حَديثَ المُنحَنى أَعِدِ
فَقَد ذَكَرتَ فَشَنِّف مِسمَعي وَزِدِ

2. It is the talk where its cheerfulness appears
From the heart of every devout, the moss of depression

٢. فَهوَ الحَديثُ الذي تَجلو بَشاشَتُهُ
عَن قَلبِ كُلِّ تَقِيٍّ طِخيَةَ الكَمَدِ

3. It is that which filled the frowning world with its tidings
And the universe was clothed in its new robes

٣. هُوَ الذي مَلَأَ الدُنيا بَشائِرُهُ
وَأَرفَلَ الكَونَ في أَثوابِهِ الجُدُدِ

4. An opening with it, openings to the religion were opened
And before it had complained of the illness of blindness

٤. فَتحٌ بِهِ فُتِحَت لِلدّينِ أَعيُنُهُ
وَقَبلَهُ قَد شَكا مِن عِلِّةِ الرَمدِ

5. So call out to the people in the loudest voice rising
East and west, and in the desert and in the town

٥. فَنادِ في الناسِ أَعلى صَوتِ مُرتَفِع
غَرباً وَشَرقاً وَفي البادي وَفي البَلد

6. Now make pilgrimage, O children of Islam, and perform lesser pilgrimage
God has changed that misery into comfort

٦. الآنَ حُجّوا بَني الإِسلامِ وَاِعتَمِروا
قَد بَدَّلَ اللَهُ ذاكَ البُؤس بِالرَغَدِ

7. So it is an invitation, O children of Islam, all together
India and Egypt, and whoever is in the region of pillars

هِنداً وَمِصراً وَمن في صُقعِ ذي العَمدِ

8. Take your share of an opportunity that came up
At the end of time that did not occur to an immortal

٨. خُذوا بِحَظِّكُم مِن فُرصَةٍ سَنَحَت
في آخِرِ الدَهرِ لَم تَخطُر عَلى خَلَدِ

9. And awaken aspirations that have long been dormant
And in the morning were about the position of glory wandering

٩. وَأَيقِظوا هِمَماً قَد طالَ ما نَعَسَت
وَأَصبَحَت عَن مَقامِ العِزِّ في صَدَدِ

10. This is your prince, O believers, who has strived
For your righteousness, so answer the caller to righteousness

And before him the people were from it in misery

وَقَبلَهُ الناسُ كانوا مِنهُ في نَكدِ

Calling them to guidance when they were guided

١٢. هذا الذي نَعَشَ اللَهُ الأَنامَ بِهِ
يَدعوهُمُ لِلهُدى لَمّا إِلَيهِ هُدي

13. He forgives generously and pardons from his nature
But for the disobedient, he is painful in the liver

١٣. يُغضي سَماحاً وَيَعفو مِن سَجِيَّتِهِ
لكِنَّهُ لِلعُصاةِ السُلُّ في الكَبدِ

14. Rise up standing on the feet of your grandfather
For lethargy is a mount for the incapable, weak one

١٤. قوموا قِياماً عَلى أَقدامِ جِدِّكُمُ
إِنَّ الهُوَينا مَطِيُّ العاجِزِ الوَغِدِ

15. This one struggles with the dear soul and that
With his money and God will bring aid

Glory without the consensus of opinion and endurance

١٦. لا تَحسَبوا يا بَني الإِسلامِ أَنَّ لَكُم
عِزّاً بِغَيرِ اِجتِماعِ الرَأيِ وَالجَلَدِ

17. Take the advice of one who cares for your matter
Who did not think of you with embellishment or shackles

١٧. خُذوا نَصيحَةَ مَن يَعنيهِ أَمرُكُمُ
ما ظَنَّ مِنكُم بِتَقريظٍ وَلا صَفَدٍ

18. There must be a refuge for the Muslims, for it
Freedom, plainness from the palm of an oppressor

In word and deed when he plunges into aggression

قَولاً وَفِعلاً إِذا ما لَجَّ في اللَدَدِ

20. And we have probed and encircled the countries but did not
Fall upon with searching this upon anyone

٢٠. وَقَد سَبَرنا وَطَوَّقنا البِلادَ فَلَم
نَقَع مَعَ البَحثِ عَن هذا عَلى أَحَدِ

21. Except upon the one whom God completed his blessings
For the Muslims, for him at the end of time

٢١. إِلّا عَلى مَن أَتَمَّ اللَهُ نِعمَتَهُ
لِلمُسلِمينَ لَهُ في آخرِ الأَبَدِ

22. Abdulaziz, whose rule
Was glory for the religion and open-handedness for the world

٢٢. عَبدِ العَزيزِ الذي كانَت وِلايَتُهُ
لِلدّينِ عِزّاً وَلِلدُنيا اِنبِساطَ يَدِ

The core of glory from the highest clan of Udad

جُرثومَةِ المَجدِ مِن اَعلى بَني أُدَدِ

And clothed it in piety interwoven with pearls

وَأَلبَسوها التُقى مَحبوكَةَ الزَرَدِ

And seeing with the eye negates the lies of the envious

٢٥. وَقَد رَأَيتُم عِياناً حُسنَ سيرَتِهِ
وَرُؤيَةُ العَينِ تَنفي زورَ ذي الحَسَدِ

26. None like the one whose action was to bar people from the
Forbidden house without text or precedent

٢٦. لا مِثلَ مَن فِعلُهُ صَدُّ الأَنامِ عَنِ البَ
يتِ الحَرامِ بِلا نَصٍّ وَلا سَنَدِ

27. As if he did not recite what is in the Psalms and what
Is in Surat Al-Hajj regarding one who intended destruction

٢٧. كَأَنَّهُ ما تَلا ما في الزُبورِ وَما
في سورَةِ الحَجِّ فيمَن هَمَّ بِالصَدَدِ

28. And the most honorable of people in status before God
Are the words of the One, the Eternal, those who fear God

٢٨. وَأَكرَمُ الناسِ عِندَ اللَهِ مَنزِلَةً
مَنِ اِتَّقى اللَهَ قَولُ الواحِدِ الأَحَدِ

29. So entrust your matter to the one in whom is your righteousness
O Muslims, and support him fully

٢٩. فَقَلِّدوا أَمرَكُم مَن فيهِ رُشدُكُمُ
يا المُسلِمونَ وَشُدّوا مِنهُ بِالعَضُدِ

He wants, no, nor the scowling gloomy one

٣٠. فَلَيسَ بِالعاجِزِ المُلقي القِيادَ لِمَن
يَروقُهُ لا وَلا بِالعابِسِ النَكِدِ

31. But he is the fierce lion, if his palms were
Stirred by opposition, he becomes a lion tearing prey

٣١. لكِنَّهُ الأَسَدُ الضِرغامُ إِن صَبَثَت
كَفّاهُ بِالضَدِّ أَضحى اللَيثُ كَالنقدِ

32. So oh You who has power over all things
And who gave to those who wanted without limit

وَمَن عَطاهُ لِمَن قَد شا بِلا عَدَدِ

With which to protect our religion from an obstinate unbeliever

A delightful rain without lightning or thunder

They do not fear in it the might of lions

٣٥. يُسيمُ مُثريهُم فيهِ وَمُقتِرَهُم
لا يَرهبونَ بهِ مِن سَطوةِ الأَسدِ

36. So fulfill sincerely an obligation from the sanction of your law
Upon you, which was authentic from Taha without blemish

٣٦. فَأَخلِصوا واجِباً مِن نَصٍّ شَرعِكُمُ
عَلَيكُمُ صَحَّ عن طهَ بِلا فنَدِ

37. Hearing and obeying whom He made ruler over you
The Lord of servants without deception or hatred

٣٧. سَمعاً وَطَوعاً لِمَن وَلّاهُ أَمرَكُمُ
رَبُّ العِبادِ بِلا غِشٍّ وَلا حَقَدِ

38. But if you refuse, then God is his supporter
And God is watching the traitorous betrayer

٣٨. فَإِن أَبَيتُم فَإِنَّ اللَهَ ناصِرُهُ
وَاللَهُ لِلخائِنِ الغَدّارِ بِالرَصَدِ

39. The matter is serious, so be warned of it
Lest folly precede the torrents of flood with cold

٣٩. الأَمرُ جِدٌّ فَكونوا مِنهُ في حَذَرٍ
لا يَسبِقُ الرَشُّ سَيل العَرمِ بِالبَرَدِ

40. Indeed the Imam whom you are charged with
Is more merciful than a pleased parent to a child

٤٠. إِنَّ الإِمامَ الذي أَنتُم بِعُهدَتِهِ
أَحنى مِنَ الوالدِ الراضي عَن الوَلَدِ

41. But he has powers during his anger
More fitting to erase the highest from the body

٤١. لكِن لهُ سَطَواتٌ عِندَ غَضبَتِهِ
أَجدِر بِه تَختَلي الأَعلى مِنَ الجَسَدِ

42. Covering detested things, reddening its towering heights
For it is the rumble like the sea casting forth foam

٤٢. يَغشى الكَريهَةَ مُحمَرّاً بَواسِقُها
لَها أَجيجٌ كَقَذفِ البَحرِ بِالزَبَدِ

43. So oh King lofty in glory, a position
That exhausted passed kings from ancient times

٤٣. فَيا مَليكاً سَما في المَجد مَنزِلَةً
أَعيَت مُلوكاً مَضوا مِن سالِفِ الأَمَدِ

44. Put the subjects first with benevolence and forgiveness
For you are a shield for them from every oppressor

٤٤. أَولِ الرَعِيَّةَ إِحساناً وَمَغفِرَةً
فَأَنتَ رِدءٌ لَها مِن كُلِّ مُضطَهِدٍ

45. For many a night of an oppressed one that he cuts short
After apprehension with praising and wakefulness

٤٥. فَرُبَّ لَيلَةِ مَظلومٍ يُقَطِّعها
بَعدَ التَحَسُّبِ بِالتَسبيحِ وَالسَهد

46. This, while I know your conduct
Is the conduct of justice, but an earnest advisor

٤٦. هذا وَإِنّي عَليمٌ أَنَّ سيرَتَكُم
لَسيرَةُ العَدلِ لكِن نُصحَ مُجتَهد

47. So pardon me, may your time make smooth, my soul and what
My palms have held back of virulence or was from a boy

٤٧. فَاِصفَح وَقتكَ الردى نَفسي وَما مَلَكَت
كَفّايَ مِن نَشَبٍ أَو كانَ مِن وَلد

48. For there is none but you who makes life sweet with him
I have probed the people of my time with the probing of a critic

٤٨. فَلَيسَ إِلّاكَ مَن تَحلو الحَياةُ بِهِ
سَبَرتُ أَهلَ زَماني سَبرَ مُنتَقِدِ

49. And enjoy life safe in the shade of a kingdom
Glory for the people of piety, humiliation for every transgressor

٤٩. وَاِنعَم وَدُم سالِماً في ظِلِّ مَملَكَةٍ
عِزّاً لِأَهلِ التُقى ذُلّاً لِكُلِّ رَدي

50. And pray, my Lord, and send peace always forever
Upon the Intercessor of mankind on the overwhelming day

٥٠. وَصَلِّ رَبّي وَسَلِّم دائِماً أَبَداً
عَلى شَفيعِ الوَرى في المَوقِفِ الصخد

51. And his household of cave and companions all of them
No hearing has rested hearing the voice of the singing bird

٥١. وَآلِهِ الغُرِّ وَالأَصحابِ كُلِّهِمُ
ما اِرتاحَ سَمعٌ لِصوتِ الطّائِرِ الغَرِدِ
