حياك شهر ربيع

بكل حسن بديع

Greetings, month of spring

The month of Rabi‘ has greeted you,

With all good and beauty

With every wondrous beauty,

مذكرا برسول

للعالمين شفيع

Reminding of the Messenger

Reminding of a Messenger,

Intercessor for all peoples

An intercessor for all the worlds,

مبارك حل فيه

حلول غيث بريع

Blessed is his arrival

A blessed one arrived within it,

Like beneficial rain pouring down

Like the arrival of life-giving rain,

أهل فيه بصوت

عذب وسمت وديع

People chant in it

He emerged in it with a voice,

With melodious, calm voices

Sweet, and with a gentle demeanor,

فكان أذكى وليد

وكان أزكى رضيع

Thus was born the wisest infant

So he was the purest of newborns,

And the most righteous suckling

And the most virtuous of suckling infants,

وكان خيررسول

للمشركين قريع

And the best Messenger

And he was the best of Messengers,

For pagans, a defeat

A striking rebuke to the polytheists,

أسدى الينا صنيعا

ما مثله من صنيع

He bestowed upon us a favor

He bestowed upon us a favor,

Unlike any favor

The likes of which has no equal,

فجاءنا بكتاب

من الاله رفيع

So he came with a Book

So he came to us with a Scripture,

From The Exalted God

Exalted, from the Divine,

ما انفك يأسر منا

فؤاد كل سميع

That continued to capture our hearts

It ceases not to captivate within us,

Of every listener

The heart of every attentive listener,

يا أمة الخير لبي

دعاءه وأطيعي

O nation of goodness, respond

O Nation of Goodness, answer the call,

To his call and obey

Respond to his summons and obey,

ولا تهيني كنوزا

صمن آيه أو تضيعي

And do not lose treasures

And do not neglect the treasures,

Of signs or let them go to waste

Preserved within his verses, lest you be lost,

محمد ليس يرضى

أن توصمي بشنيع

Muhammad does not accept

Muhammad is never pleased,

That you brand him with disgrace

That you be branded with disgrace,

محمد ليس يرضى

أن تخلدي لوضيع

Muhammad does not accept

Muhammad is never pleased,

That you condemn the fallen

That you settle for a lowly state,

فأوى الى الله تأوي

الى الجناب المنيع

So take refuge in God, take refuge

So flee to Allah, and you shall find refuge,

In The Impenetrable Protector

In His impregnable protection,

بيعي له كل غال

بجنة الخلد بيعي

Sell Him every precious thing

Trade for His sake all that is precious;

For the eternal Garden, sell to Him

Purchase the Garden of Eternity with it,

وآزري حزب طه

بجهدك المستطيع

And support the party of Taha

And support the party of Taha,

With your able effort

With the utmost of your ability,

إن الشقاق فظيع

يدعو لكل فظيع

Indeed, discord is abhorrent

For indeed, discord is distinctively terrible,

And calls for every abhorrence

It invites every atrocity,

والشاة للذئب سهم

إن فرطت في القطيع

And the sheep are easy prey

And the sheep becomes the wolf's share,

If you neglect the flock

If it strays from the flock,

يا أمة الخير هبي

الى المتاب السريع

O nation of goodness, hasten

O Nation of Goodness, rise up,

To the Oft-Returning

Towards swift repentance,

قومي بدينك قومي

قوية لا تميعي

Stand for your faith, stand firm

Stand firm with your religion, stand firm,

Strong, do not waver

Strong, and do not weaken or dissolve,

فليس رخو كصلب

وظالع كظليع

For softness is not like resolve

For the soft is not like the solid,

And dawn is not like high noon

Nor the limping like the strong-striding,

كوني لطه كجند

من صحب طه شجيع

Be for Taha like an army

Be for Taha like soldiers,

Of brave Taha companions

Like the brave Companions of Taha,

فدوا من الضيم طه

ودينه بالنجيع

Who shielded Taha

Who ransomed Taha from oppression,

And his faith from injustice

And defended his religion with their lifeblood,

أزكى رضى الله عنهم

من صارع وصريع

The most righteous, may God be pleased

May the purest pleasure of Allah be upon them,

Those who fought and died as martyrs

Upon every combatant and martyr,

مجندل في الفيافي

أوملحد في البقيع

At Mijdel in the deserts

Laid low upon the desert sands,

Or Malhada in the grave site

Or entombed within Al-Baqi‘,

فاقفيهم تحت ضوء

من الرجاء سطيع

So stand with them in the glow

So follow their tracks beneath a light,

Of hopeful obedience

Shining brightly with hope,

وتابعي هدي طه

وشايعي وأذيعي

And follow the guidance of Taha

And pursue the guidance of Taha,

Propagate and spread

Ally with it, and spread it forth,

فما له من ضريب

في هديه أو ضريع

For none deviate from his guidance

For there is no equal to him,

Or change his course

In his guidance, nor any peer,

هو المشفع فينا

يوم الحساب المريع

He is our intercessor

He is the granted intercessor for us,

On the feared Day of Reckoning

On the Day of the Dreadful Reckoning,

فلا عدمناه نورا

ورحمة للجميع

May we never lack his light

May we never be deprived of his light,

And mercy for all

And a mercy unto all.
