Sol 6.1

  1. يا مَعشر الإِسلام هلت لَكُم بُشرى

    بِآثار مِن في العالمين لَهُ البُشرى

    O community of Islam, glad tidings have dawned for you,

    with relics of him to whom glad tidings belong in all the worlds.

  2. وَما تِلكَ إِلا شَعرة نَبَوية

    أَجل لَها الرَحمَن في مُلكِهِ قَدرا

    This is none other than a hair of the Prophet,

    whose rank the All-Merciful has exalted in His kingdom.

  3. هَدية أَهداها المَليك لِأَحمَد

    هُوَ السَيد المَشهور بِالساحة الكُبرى

    A gift the sovereign presented to Ahmad,

    the master renowned in the great courtyard.

  4. وَما هِيَ جاءَت عِندَنا كَهدية

    عَلى قَدر مُهديها فَقَد عَظمت قَدرا

    It has not come to us as a gift

    proportionate to its giver's rank, for its worth is immense.

  5. فَصاحبها كُل المُلوك تَذللت

    إِلَيهِ وَصارَ الكُل مُمتثلا أَمرا

    For its owner—all kings humbled themselves

    before him, and all became obedient to his command.

  6. وَما شَرَف المَتبوع إِلّا لتابع

    لِذَلِكَ صارَت مِن فَضائله ذُخرا

    And the honor of the one followed belongs only to a follower;

    thus, through his virtues, it became a treasure.

  7. وَكُل عَظيم صارَ يَهدي لِمثله

    وَهذا سمت آلاء مَعروفه الغرا

    And every great man has come to give gifts to his equal;

    and this one's radiant bounties of kindness have risen high.

  8. لَقَد سَكَنت دار الخِلافة مُدة

    وَجاءَت إِلَيكُم كَي تَذكركم ذِكرى

    It dwelt for a time in the seat of the caliphate,

    and came to you as a reminder, to stir your remembrance.

  9. تَذكركم آثار فَضل نَبيكم

    نَبي تعالي قَدره لَيلة الأَسرى

    It recalls to you the traces of your Prophet's excellence—

    a Prophet whose rank rose high on the night of the Night Journey.

  10. وَآثاره دَلَت عَلى أَصل فَضله

    وَلَكن تَقوى اللَه آثاره الكبرى

    And his relics have pointed to the source of his excellence,

    yet reverence for God is the greatest of his legacies.

  11. وَما أَمرنا إِلا اِتِباع أَوامر

    لِأَعظَم مَبعوث أَقام لَنا أَمرا

    And our duty is only to follow the commands

    of the greatest messenger, who established an order for us.

  12. وَلا نَرتَقي إِلا بحفظ لَديننا

    بِما اللَه في أَصل الكِتاب لَهُ أَجرى

    And we rise only by safeguarding our religion,

    through what God ordained for it in the Book's original text.

  13. وَلَيسَ بِغَير الاتحاد نَرى العُلا

    فَأَمر اِختِلاف الناس يَستَوجب الضَرا

    And only through unity can we behold the heights,

    for discord among people necessarily brings harm.

  14. فَكُونوا جَميعاً باتحاد قُلوبكم

    عَلى أَمرِكُم شَخصاً وَلا تَطلُبوا النَكرا

    So be, all of you, with your hearts united,

    as one person in your cause, and do not seek wrongdoing.

  15. ففي الدين مَنجاة مِن الشَر دائِماً

    وَمَن فَرَطوا قَد يَحرمون غَداً أَجرا

    For in religion there is always deliverance from evil,

    and those who were neglectful may tomorrow be denied a reward.

  16. إِلَيكُم أَقام اللَه ديناً مُؤيدا

    بِأَعظَم رُسل بَينوا الخَير وَالشَرا

    For you, God established a faith upheld

    by the greatest messengers, who made clear good and evil.

  17. وَقَد وَرث التَأييد كُل مُحافظ

    عَلى الدين مِمَن نَفَذَ البَهى وَالأَمرا

    And that support has been inherited by every guardian

    of the faith, among those who enforce prohibitions [reading uncertain] and commands.

  18. فَنَسأل رَب العَرش أَن يَجعَل التُقى

    أَماما لِنَمحي بِالتقي الذَنب وَالوَزرا

    So we ask the Lord of the Throne to place piety

    before us, that through piety we may efface sin and its burden.

  19. وَأَختم قَولي بِالصَلاة مُسلِما

    عَلى خَير خَلق ثُم أَلتَمس العُذرا

    And I end my words with blessings and greetings of peace

    upon the best of creation, then ask to be excused.
