Sol 6.1

  1. بذكرك نستكفي وإياك نعبدُ

    وأنت الذي ندعو وأنت نُوحِّدُ

    By remembering You we seek sufficiency, and You alone we worship.

    And You are the One we invoke, and You we affirm as One.

  2. ومن ذا الذي يرجو سواك ولم تزل

    لفضلك فينا أنعمٌ تتجدد

    And who would hope in anyone but You, while ceaselessly

    blessings from Your bounty are renewed among us?

  3. هديت إلى الإسلام أول منة

    وكم منّة من بعدها لا تعدد

    You guided us to Islam as Your first favor,

    and how many favors after it are beyond counting!

  4. وأغنيتنا من فاقة وكفيتنا

    مكاره لولا أنت لم تك تبعد

    And You freed us from want and spared us

    hardships that, but for You, would not have been averted.

  5. فوالله لولا اللهُ لم ترنُ مقلةٌ

    وواللهِ لولا الله ما بطشت يَدُ

    So, by God, but for God no eye would gaze,

    and by God, but for God no hand would strike.

  6. فيا أيها الآوي إلى غير بابه

    أفق ليس إلا الله ما بطشت يَدُ

    So, O you who seek refuge at a door other than His,

    awake! There is none but God; no hand has struck.

  7. إذا كنت بالمخلوق يومك واثقاً

    فمن لك بالمخلوق إن جاءك الغد

    If today you trust a created being,

    then who will guarantee that creature for you, if tomorrow comes?

  8. تأمل فصنع الله جلَّ ثناؤه

    عليك بوحدانية الله يشهد

    Reflect, for God's handiwork—exalted be His praise—

    bears witness against you to God's oneness.

  9. ومن لُطفِهِ سبحانه بعباده

    إمام معانٌ بالقضاء مسدد

    And among His kindnesses—glory be to Him—toward His servants

    is an imam, aided by divine decree and guided aright.

  10. حمى بيضةَ الإِسلام والطرف مطرقٌ

    شدَّ عرى التّوحيد والسيف

    He protected Islam's heartland, his gaze lowered;

    he tightened the bonds of monotheism, and the sword...

  11. ولم يستعن في الأمر إلاَّ بربه

    لذاك أعاديه تقوم وتقعد

    And in the affair he sought help only from his Lord;

    for that, his enemies rise and sit in agitation.

  12. له جمع الله الديانة والدُّنا

    وهل جَمَعَ الدارين إلاَّ مؤيد

    For him God united religion and worldly life;

    and who has united the two abodes but one divinely aided?

  13. ففي كل غور للتنزه روضةٌ

    وفي كلِّ نجد للتهجد مسجد

    So in every lowland is a garden for recreation,

    and in every upland a mosque for night prayer.

  14. ومن كأمير المؤمنين وعنده

    سريرةُ أمر الله وهو مخلد

    And who is like the Commander of the Faithful, who holds

    the secret of God's command and is made everlasting?

  15. خلافةُ أمر المسلمين قلادةٌ

    يناسبها في القدر هذا المقلَّد

    The caliphate over the Muslims' affairs is a necklace;

    this wearer matches it in worth.

  16. مواردُ تحميها الأسنةُ والظُّبَا

    فمن شاء فليقرب للموت مورد

    Watering places guarded by spearheads and sword-edges:

    so whoever wishes, let him approach a watering place of death.

  17. يغرّ عقول الممترين سرابه

    وما تحته إلا الحسام المجرد

    Its mirage deceives the minds of doubters,

    and beneath it is nothing but the unsheathed sword.

  18. فنحن بحمدالله في ظل نعمة

    مليك سماوي وملك ممهد

    So we, praise be to God, are in the shade of a blessing:

    a heavenly sovereign and a firmly established kingdom.

  19. أمِنَّا الذي نخشى بيمن خليفةٍ

    له العدل درعٌ والدعاء مهند

    We are safe from what we fear through the blessing of a caliph,

    for whom justice is armor and supplication an Indian-steel sword.

  20. فقل للأعادي أذعِنُوا قَبلَ وَقعَةٍ

    تكونُ عليكم جمرةً تتوقد

    So tell the enemies: submit before a battle

    that will be a blazing ember upon you.

  21. إذا بَعُدَ المأمولُ بالأمس عَنكُمُ

    فمَطلَبُهُ منكم مع اليوم أبعَدُ

    If what you hoped for was far from you yesterday,

    then its attainment is even farther from you today.

  22. قضى الله أنَّ الناكثين أذلة

    وأنَّ أمير المؤمنين محمد

    God has decreed that the oath-breakers are abased,

    and that the Commander of the Faithful is Muhammad.
