يَا جَدَّ السُّلَالَةْ
O Forefather of the Noble Lineage
En
يَا جَدَّ السُّلَالَةْ
يَا مَجْمَعَ كَمَالَهْ
yā jaddas sulālah
yā majmaʿa kamālah
O Forefather of the Noble Lineage,
O Gathering-Place of all perfection,
يَا جَمِيلًا فِي جَمَالِهْ
جَمَالُكَ لَا مِثَالَهْ
yā jamīlan fī jamālih
jamāluka lā mithālah
O you who are beautiful in your beauty,
Your beauty has no equal.
فَائِقٌ لِلْبُدُورِ
مُقْتَبَسٌ بِنُورِهِ
fā’iqun lilbudūri
muqtabasun binūrihi
Surpassing the full moons,
They borrow their light from his radiance.
مُشْتَاقٌ أَنَ أَزُورَهُ
عِنْدَهُ الدَّمْعُ سَالَا
mushtāqun ana azūrahu
ʿindahud damʿu sālā
I yearn to visit him;
In his presence, tears flow
رُؤْيَاكَ النَّبِيَّ
سَعَادَةٌ هَنِيَّةْ
ru’yākan nabiyya
saʿādatun haniyyah
To behold you, O Prophet ﷺ,
Is a blissful joy,
بِرِيحِهَا الْعِطْرِيَّةْ
فِي النَّوْمِ أَوْ خَيَالَا
birīḥihal ʿiṭriyyah
fīn nawmi aw khayālā
With its fragrant breeze,
Whether in sleep or in a vision.
جِئْتُ لِلرِّحَابِ
وَاقِفٌ بِبَابِه
ji’tu lilrriḥābi
wāqifun bibābih
I came to the sacred precincts,
Standing at his door;
بِمَجْمَعَ الْأَحْبَابِ
حَطَطْتُ الرِّحَالَ
bimajmaʿal aḥbābi
ḥaṭaṭtur riḥāla
At the gathering-place of the beloved ones,
I laid down my traveling gear
أَسَدٌ فَوْقَ نَارَا
حَيْدَرْ الْكَرَّارَ
asadun fawqa nārā
ḥaydaral karrāra
A lion amid the blaze,
Ḥaydar, the Ever-Charging One
كَمْ بِالسَّيْفِ صَالَ
كَمْ رَعَدَ الْجِبَالَ
kam bis sayfi ṣāla
kam raʿadal jibāla
How often he struck forth with the sword,
How often he made the mountains tremble!
أَهْلِي وَقَبُولِي
بِالزَّهْرَا الْبَتُولِ
ahlī waqabūlī
biz zahral batūli
My hope and my acceptance are
Through al-Zahrāʾ, the Chaste One.
يَا بِنْتَ الرَّسُولِ
بَلِّغِي الْآمَالَ
yā bintar rasūli
ballighīl āmāla
O daughter of the Messenger ﷺ,
Bring my hopes to fulfillment
بِزَيْنَبَ الْمُشَيرَةْ
وَنَفِيسَةَ الْكَبِيرَةْ
bizaynabal mushaīrah
wanafīsatal kabīrah
By Zaynab, the guiding one,
And Nafīsa, the great one,
وَعَائِشَةَ الْمُنِيرَةْ
أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ آلَ
waʿā’ishatal munīrah
antum khayru āla
And ʿĀʾisha, the radiant one,
You are the best of families
أِنَنَا نَوَيْنَا
عِنْدَهُ أَتَيْنَا
inanā nawaynā
ʿindahu ataynā
Indeed, we made our intention;
Unto him we have come.
يَا جَدَّ الْحَسَنَيْنِ
إِنَّ الشَّوْقُ طَالَ
yā jaddal ḥasanayni
innash shawqu ṭāla
O Grandfather of al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn,
Our longing has grown long
قَدَّمْنَا الْهَدِيَّةَ
لِلْعِتْرَةِ الزَّكِيَّةِ
qaddamnal hadiyyata
lilʿitratiz zakiyyati
We have presented our gift
To the pure Prophetic Household:
صَلَاةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
هُوَ بَاهِي الْجَمَالِ
ṣalātun ʿalan nabiyyi
huwa bāhīl jamāli
Blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ
He is resplendent in beauty
