Sol 6.1

  1. آنست نور الله جلَّ جلاله

    ومشيت حيث مشي النبُّي وآله

    I beheld the light of God—exalted is His majesty.

    And I walked where the Prophet and his household walked.

  2. وبلغت أحسن ما تمني مسلم

    وأعزُّ ما يسمو إليه خيالُه

    And I attained the finest thing a Muslim ever wished for,

    And the most precious thing to which his imagination aspires.

  3. مُكِّنتُ من حظِّي فليس بشاغلي

    إدباره عني ولا إقباله

    I was granted my good fortune, so I am not preoccupied by

    Its turning away from me or its coming to me.

  4. من تختتم سفر الحياة برجعة

    لله طاب ختامه ومآله

    Whoever ends life's journey with a return

    To God has a good ending and a good final destination.

  5. يا رب جاء إليك يسألك الهدي

    عبد له عصيانه وضلاله

    O Lord, there has come to You, asking You for guidance,

    A servant with his disobedience and his waywardness.

  6. قد خال آفاق الحجاز تضيق عن

    آثامه وبها تنوء جباله

    He had thought the horizons of the Hijaz too narrow for

    His sins, and its mountains weighed down by them.

  7. هذا المنيب إلي عفوٍّ غافر

    ما باله في روعه من حاله

    This penitent turning to One who pardons and forgives—

    Why is he so terrified by his own condition?

  8. ذكر الوعيد فزعزعت آماله

    خوف الوعيد وزلزلت أوصاله

    He recalled the threat, and his hopes were shaken

    By fear of the threat, and his limbs were made to tremble.

  9. حتي إذا البيت المحَّرم ضمّهُ

    قرَّت بلابله وأصلح باله

    Until, when the Sacred House embraced him,

    His anxieties grew still, and his mind was set at ease.

  10. يا رب قد حققت لي أملي ومن

    آواه بيتك لم تخب آماله

    O Lord, You have fulfilled my hope, and whoever

    Your House has sheltered has not seen his hopes fail.

  11. أنزلت في القلب اللهيف سكينة

    لا روعه باق ولا زلزاله

    You sent tranquility down into the anguished heart;

    Neither its terror nor its trembling remains.

  12. يا من يحب التائبين دعاك من

    صدق المتاب فهل يجاب سؤاله

    O You who love the repentant, You are called upon by one

    Whose repentance is sincere—will his plea be answered?

  13. المسلمون ودينهم في محنة

    لم يخف حالهم عليك وحاله

    The Muslims and their religion are undergoing an ordeal;

    Their plight is not hidden from You, nor is its plight.

  14. وأراهم متفرقين كأنهم

    جسم سوي مزقت أوصاله

    And I see them divided, as though they were

    A sound body whose limbs have been torn apart.

  15. وأراهم قد مكنوا لعدوهم

    فتملكت أعناقهم أغلاله

    And I see that they have empowered their enemy,

    So his shackles have taken hold of their necks.

  16. صال العدو عليهمو متجبرا

    واشتد فيهم بطشه ونكاله

    The enemy assailed them tyrannically,

    And his brutality and harsh punishment of them intensified.

  17. وأخال منهم من يخون قبيله

    ومن الخيانة جاهه أو ماله

    And I think among them is someone who betrays his people,

    And whose standing or wealth comes from betrayal.

  18. وأخال من فساقهم من غره

    إمهال رب العرش لا إهماله

    And I think among their sinners is someone deluded by

    The respite granted by the Lord of the Throne, not His neglect.

  19. وأخال منهم من يتوب لعلة

    فإذا انقضت غلب المتاب ضلاله

    And I think among them is someone who repents for some cause,

    Then, when it passes, his waywardness overcomes his repentance.

  20. يا رب ألهمنا صراطك تنصرف

    عنا مآسي يومنا ووباله

    O Lord, inspire us to follow Your path, so that there may pass

    From us our day's tragedies and its dire consequences.

  21. يا من ينير الروح باهر نوره

    ويزفُّ ألوان الجمال جماله

    O You whose dazzling light illumines the soul,

    And whose beauty ushers in the colors of beauty.
