Hamziyya

Ṣalli yā Rabbi thumma sallim ‘alā man
So pray my Lord and bestow blessings upon him

Huwa li-l-khalqi raḥmatun wa-shifā'un
Who is for all mankind, a grace and a healing

Wa-‘ala l-āli wa-ṣ-ṣaḥābati jam‘an
So also on his fair Companions and kinsmen

Ma tazayyanat bi-n-nujūmi s-samā’u
With blessings that abide like the sky's lofty ceiling

So pray my Lord and bestow blessings upon him
Who is for all mankind, a grace and a healing

So also on his fair Companions and kinsmen
With blessings that abide like the sky's lofty ceiling

Accept and pity then as my intercessor
Upon the day when all need an intercessor

And in this gloomy age keep me and my people
For in our day our power has grown faint and feeble

For in these times the faith is once more a stranger
Thus did you once foretell, the decent in danger

So catch us lest we fall in the pit of peril
For on this day we tire, after blunder and quarrel
