كَلِّفِ العِيسَ بِالسُّرَى فَذرَاهَا
بُنِيَت لأنهَدَامِهَا بِسُرَاهَا
Entrust the camel to go to Sura and leave her
She was built to endure her journey
إِنَّما عُرِّيَت شَهُوراً لإِعمَا
لِ شُهُورٍ أمَامَهَا وَوَارَاهَا
She was stripped only to make it easier
For the months ahead of her and behind her
عَدِّ عَن رَعيِهَا وَدعَها تَبَارَى
جَافِلاَتِ مُجَاذِبَاتِ بُرَاهَا
Stop minding her and let her speed ahead
Shaking off the jostling of her saddlebags
لاَ تَكُن مُشفِقاً عَلَيهَا أفِيهَا
غَرَضٌ بَعدَ أن وَصَلَت عُلاَهَا
Do not pity her, her goal awaits
After she's climbed to the peak of her journey
القِهَا في لَظَى المَفَاوِزِ حَتَّى
تَتَشَكَّى كَلاَلَهَا وَوَجَاهَا
Drive her into the heat of the desert until
Her tiredness and resolve peel away
وَتَغَارَ العُيُونُ مِنهَا وتُمسِى
ذُبَّلاً كَالقِسِىِّ حِينَ تَرَاهَا
And eyes will be envious seeing her reduced
To withered hide once you look upon her
جَائِلاَتٍ نُسُوعُهَا تَتَغَالَى
فَوقَ عُوجٍ قَد أُسنِدَت لِقَرَاهَا
A roaming camel whose lead rope ascends
Above a litter that props her burden
لَم يَخُنهَا ولَم تَخُنهُ ولَكِن
شَفَّهَا جَذبُهَا البُرَى وبَرَاهَا
He did not betray her, nor did she betray him, but
The pulling of the desert and its width did part them
أغشِهَا هَولَ كُلِّ يَهمَاءَ يَعيَا
عَن وُرُودِ المِيَاهِ فِيهَا قَطَاهَا
Distract her from every raving madman
From the watering places within her range
تَهلَكِ الرِّيحُ في جَوَانِبِهَا عَر
ضاً وطُولاً لِهَولِهَا وصَدَاهَا
The wind destroys its sides, broad and long
To her fearful quaking and clatter
قَد طَوَى الذِّئبَ قُوتُها وَطَوتهُ
مِثلَ طَىِّ الكِتَابَ كَفٍّ طَوَاهَا
The wolf has consumed her food and she consumed him
As a hand conceals a book it covers
فَهو يَدعُو الثُّبُورَ فِيهَا سُحَيراً
طَالَما ضَلَّ في رَجَاهَا وتَاهَا
So he calls to the camels gone astray there wildly
After losing hope of her and wandering
هَائِماً يَقتَرِى طَوَامسَ أثَا
رِ ظِبَاءٍ تَقَادَمَت وَمَهَاهَا
Roaming, feeding on the ruins
Of bygone game, erased and forgotten
في بَلالِيقَ لاَ أنِيسَ بِها غَي
رَ صَدَى صَوتِ بُومِهَا وصَداهَا
In desolate places without friend but
The echo of his moan and his call
عَلَّهَا بَعدَ أن تَرَامَت أسَابِي
عَ وَأَلقَت عَنِ العِظَامِ نَقَاهَا
Perhaps after her bones are strewn about
And she's shed her flesh down to the marrow
تَبلُغِ الحضرَةَ الخَدِيمِيَّةِ السُّن
نِيَّةِ المُستَبَانَ نُورُ سَنَاهَا
She will reach the praiseworthy, brilliant
Eternal dominion, apparent in its light
حَضرَةَ المُصطَفَي الخَلِيفَةِ كَشَّا
فِ العَوِيصَاتِ في حِجَابِ دُجَاهَا
The dominion of Al-Mustafa the successor laying bare
Mysteries within the veils of darkness
حَضرَةَ العِلمِ وَالأَناةِ وَإِحيا
ءِ المَعالِي وَقَفوِ سُنَّةِ طَهَ
The dominion of knowledge, composure, and revival
Of noble deeds and adherence to the Sunnah of Ta-Ha
حَضرَة العَالِمِ التَّقِيِّ النَّقِيِّ ال
عاذِلِ البَاذِلِ السَّكُوبَ نَدَاهَا
The dominion of the scholar, the devout, the pure
The generous, who pours forth his bounty
حَضرَةَ مَن أَتَى إِلَيها سَعيدٌ
أَو أَتَى مَن أَتى لِمَن قَد أَتاها
The dominion that brings joy to one who comes
Or brings woe to one who comes for those who reached it
حَضرَةً أُسِّسَت عَلَى مَحضِ تَقوَى ال
لَهِ طُوبَى لَهَا وَوَاهاً وَوَاهَا
A dominion founded on pure, unsullied devotion
Bless it, bless it, ever more blessing it!
جُنَّةٌ لِلعِبَادِ دُونَ الدَّوَاهِى
جَنَّةٌ لِلجَُنَاةِ دَانٍ جَنَاهَا
A paradise for servants not chasing worldly desires
A paradise for sinners in it found redemption
مُزنَةٌ أسقَت البَلاَدَ إِلَى أن
بَلَغَ السَّيلُ في البِلاَدِ زُبَاهَا
A institution that quenched the land until
The flood in the land reached its shores
حِكمَةٌ في العُلُومِ بَالٍغَةٌ مَا
بَلَغَت يُبهِرُ العُقُولَ مَدَاهَا
A wisdom in sciences, profound beyond
What the minds can ever fully comprehend
أَيُّهَا المُصطفي أعِرنَا أنِيًّا
مِنكَ حَتَّى نُطِيعَ فِيكَ الإِلَهَ
O Mustafa, make us intimate with you
That we obey Allah through serving you
فَرَضَ اللهُ أن تُعَظَّمَ تَعظي
مَاً وأن تُرتَضَى وأن لا تُبَاهَى
Allah decreed you be held in utmost esteem
Chosen, not vaunted in empty display
أنتَ في مُقلَةِ الحَسُودِ قَذَاةٌ
لَم يُفَارِقهُ ما حَيِيتَ أذَاهَا
You remain a thorn in envious hearts
As long as you live, their harm does not wane
رَامَ مَارَامُه سَفَاهَا ومَا قَد
رُمتُه أنتَ لَم تَرُمهُ سَفَاهَا
They desired the worst but you did not stoop to their ignorance
You opposed them with prostration in darkened night
رُمتَهُ بِالسُّجُودِ واللَّيلُ دَاجٍ
بَعدَمَا مَلاَّ العُيُونَ كَرَاهَا
With wisdom divinely guided and prayer
Answered that tames the soul and its whims
وبِرَأىٍ مُوَفَّقٍ ودُعَاءٍ
مُستَجَابٍ يُزَايِلُ النَّفسَ دَاهَا
May Allah bless you, you obtained nobility
And acceptance among peoples and prestige
بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ نِلتَ أرتِقَاءً
وقَبُولاً بَينَ الأنَامِ وَجَاهَا
May Allah increase you until Muslims in you
Their aspirations are fulfilled, their journey complete
زَادَكَ اللهُ زَادَكَ الله حَتَّى
تَبلُغَ المُسلِمُونَ فِيكَ مُنَاهَا
And peace upon the Intercessor Ta-Ha
Never-ending peace upon him forever more
وَصَلاَةٌ عَلَى المُشَفَّعِ طَهَ
وسَلامٌ عَلَيهِ لاَ يَتَنَاهَى
