Ahīmu Waḥdī bi-Dhikri Rabbī

– verse 2 –

أَحْبَبْتُ رَبًّا هُوَ اعْتِمَادِي
لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ يَشَاءُ

Aḥbabtu Rabban Huwa ‘timaadee
li kulli shay’in Huwa yashaa’u

I love a Lord on Whom I depend
– in all things, it is He who wills.

– verse 3 –

وَكُلُّ حُبٍّ لِغَيْرِ رَبِّي
فِيهِ الْعَذَابُ فِيهِ الشَّقَاءُ

Wa kullu ḥubbin li ghayri Rabbee
feehil–‘adhaabu feehish–shaqaa’u

In every love for something other than my Lord,
there is torment and there is misery.

– verse 4 –

يَا فَوْزَ فَانٍ عَنِ الْفَنَاءِ
لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ لَهُ الْبَقَاءُ

Yaa fawza faanin ‘anil–fanaa’ee 
lahul–ḥayaatu lahul–baqaa’u

O the joy of the one who passes through self-effacement!
He attains true life and subsistence.

– verse 5 –

يَا ربِّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدْ
مِنْ ذَاتِهِ النُّورُ وَالضِّيَاءُ

Yaa Rabbi ṣallee ‘alaa Muḥammad
min dhaatihin–nooru waḍ-ḍiyaa’u

O my Lord, send blessings upon Muhammad,
from whose being emanates light and splendour.

– verse 6 –

وَآلِهِ وَالصَّحْبِ الكِرَامِ
لَهُمْ عُهُودٌ لَهُمْ وَفَاءُ

Wa aalihi waṣ–ṣaḥbil–kiraamee
lahum ‘uhoodun lahum wafaa’u

And upon his Family and noble Companions;
theirs is the covenant, and its fulfilment.
