Sol 6.1

  1. عَبدَ السَّلامِ ببلدةِ الحمرَاء

    مُتجلِّيا في حلَّةٍ خَضرَاء

    Abd al-Salam in the town of al-Hamra,

    Appearing in a green robe.

  2. يا مَن لدَيه حاجةٌ مطلوبةٌ

    يَمِّمه واستبشَِر لها بِقَضَاء

    O you who have a need you wish fulfilled,

    Seek him out, and rejoice in its fulfillment.

  3. فلَهُ كرامَاتٌ إذا أبصَرتَها

    أبصرتَ كيفَ كرامةُ الصُّلَحاء

    For he has miraculous gifts; when you behold them,

    You see what the miraculous grace of the righteous is like.

  4. الكَهرباءُ ونورُهَا بإشَارةٍ

    من فيهِ في الإيقَادِ والإطفَاء

    Electricity and its light, at a signal

    From his mouth, are switched on and off.

  5. ويطيرُ في جَوِّ السمَاء محلِقا

    حتَّى يُري أسرَاره لِلرَّائي

    And he flies through the sky, soaring,

    To show his secrets to the beholder.

  6. معنَا بجِسمهِ حاضرٌ متكلِّمٌ

    والروحُ منه مضَت لِغَار حِرَاء

    He is present with us in body, speaking,

    And his spirit has left him for the cave of Hira.

  7. لو شاءَ يمشي فوق سطحِ الماءِ في

    بحرٍ عَلى لُجَجٍ مشَى في المَاء

    If he wished to walk upon the water's surface in

    A sea, he would walk over billows in the water.

  8. أتباعُهُ شتَّى وعندهُ هُم علَى

    قِسمَينِ مِن بُخَلا ومن كُرمَاء

    His followers are varied, and in his eyes they fall into

    Two groups: the miserly and the generous.
