al-Qasida al-Mudariyya

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ مِنْ مُّضَرٍ
وَالْأَنْبِيَا وَجَمِيْعِ الرُّسْلِ مَا ذُكِرُوا
وَصَلِّ رَبِّ عَلَى الْهَادِي وَشِيعَتِهِ
وَصَحْبِهِ مَنْ لِطَيِّ الدِّينِ قَدْ نَشَرُوا
وَجَاهَدُوا مَعَهُ فِي اللهِ وَاجْتَهَدُوا
وَهَاجَرُوا وَلَهُ آوَوْا وَقَدْ نَصَرُوا
وَبَيَّنُوا الْفَرْضَ وَالْمَسْنُونَ وَاعْتَصَبُوا
لِلّٰهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِاللهِ فَانْتَصَرُوا
أَزْكَى صَلَاةٍ وَأَنْمَاهَا وَأَشْرَفَهَا
يُعَطِّرُ الْكَوْنَ رَيَّا نَشْرِهَا الْعَطِرُ
مَعْبُوقَةً بِعَبِيقِ الْمِسْكِ زَاكِيَةً
مِنْ طِيبِهَا أَرَجُ الرِّضْوَانِ يَنْتَشِرُ
عَدَّ الْحَصَى وَالثَّرَى وَالرَّمْلِ يَتْبَعُهَا
نَجْمُ السَّمَا وَنَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ وَالْمَدَرُ
وَعَدَّ وَزْنِ مَثَاقِيلِ الْجِبَالِ كَمَا
يَلِيهِ قَطْرُ جَمِيعِ الْمَاءِ وَالْمَطَرُ
وَعَدَّ مَا حَوَتِ الْأَشْجَارُ مِنْ وَرَقٍ
وَكُلِّ حَرْفٍ غَدَا يُتْلَى وَيُسْتَطَرُ
وَالْوَحْشِ وَالطَّيْرِ وَالْأَسْمَاكِ مَعْ نَعَمٍ
يَلِيهِمُ الْجِنُّ وَالْأَمْلَاكُ وَالْبَشَرُ
وَالذَّرُّ وَالنَّمْلُ مَعْ جَمْعِ الْحُبُوبِ كَذَا
وَالشَّعْرُ وَالصُّوفُ وَالْأَرْيَاشُ وَالْوَبَرُ
وَمَا أَحَاطَ بِهِ الْعِلْمُ الْمُحِيطُ وَمَا
جَرَى بِهِ الْقَلَمُ الْمَأْمُورُ وَالْقَدَرُ
وَعَدَّ نَعْمَائِكَ اللَّاتِي مَنَنْتَ بِهَا
عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ مُذْ كَانُوا وَمُذْ حُشِرُوا
وَعَدَّ مِقْدَارِهِ السَّامِي الَّذِي شَرُفَتْ
بِهِ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالْأَمْلَاكُ وَافْتَخَرُوا
وَعَدَّ مَا كَانَ فِي الْأَكْوَانِ يَا سَنَدِي
وَمَا يَكُوْنُ إِلَى أَنْ تُبْعَثَ الصُّوَرُ
فِي كُلِّ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ يَطْرِفُونَ بِهَا
أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِينَ أَوْ يَذَرُوا
مِلْءَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِيْنَ مَعْ جَبَلٍ
وَالْفَرْشِ وَالْعَرْشِ وَالْكُرْسِي وَمَا حَصَرُوا
مَا أَعْدَمَ اللهُ مَوْجُودًا وَأَوْجَدَ مَعْـ
ـدُومًا صَلَاةً دَوَامًا لَيْسَ تَنْحَصِرُ
تَسْتَغْرِقُ الْعَدَّ مَعْ جَمْعِ الدُّهُورِ كَمَا
تُحِيطُ بِالْحَدِّ لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
لَا غَايَةً وَانْتِهَاءً يَا عَظِيمُ لَهَا
وَلَا لَهَا أَمَدٌ يُّقْضَى فَيُعْتَبَرُ
وَعَدَّ أَضْعَافِ مَا قَدْ مَرِّ مِنْ عَدَدٍ
مَعْ ضِعْفِ أَضْعَافِهِ يَا مَنْ لَهُ الْقَدَرُ
كَمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى سَيِّدِي وَكَمَا
أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّي أَنْتَ مُقْتَدِرُ
مَعَ السَّلَامِ كَمَا قَدْ مَرَّ مِنْ عَدَدٍ
رَبِّي وَضَاعِفْهُمَا وَالْفَضْلُ مُنْتَشِرُ
وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ مَضْرُوبٌ بِحَقِّكَ فِي
أَنْفَاسِ خَلْقِكَ إِنْ قَلُّوا وَإِنْ كَثُرُوا
يَا رَبِّ وَاغْفِرْ لِقَارِيهَا وَسَامِعِهَا
وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ جَمِيْعًا أَيْنَمَا حَضَرُوا
وَوَالِدِينَا وَأَهْلِينَا وَجِيرَتِنَا
وَكُلُّنَا سَيِّدِي لِلْعَفْوِ مُفْتَقِرُ
وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ ذُنُوبًا لَا عِدَادَ لَهَا
لَكِنَّ عَفْوَكَ لَا يُبْقِي وَلَا يَذَرُ
وَالْهَمُّ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَبْغِيهِ أَشْغَلَنِي
وَقَدْ أَتَى خَاضِعًا وَالْقَلْبُ مُنْكَسِرُ
أَرْجُوكَ يَا رَبِّ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ تَرْحَمُنَا
بِجَاهِ مَنْ فِي يَدَيْهِ سَبَّحَ الْحَجَرُ
يَا رَبِّ أَعْظِمْ لَنَا أَجْرًا وَّمَغْفِرَةً
فَإِنَّ جُودَكَ بَحْرٌ لَيْسَ يَنْحَصِرُ
وَاقْضِ دُيُونًا لَهَا الْأَخْلَاقُ ضَائِقَةٌ
وَفَرِّجِ الْكَرْبَ عَنَّا أَنْتَ مَقْتَدِرُ
وَكُنْ لَطِيْفًا بِنَا فِي كُلِّ نَازِلَةٍ
لُطْفًا جَمِيلًا بِهِ الْأَهْوَالُ تَنْحَسِرُ
بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْمُجْتَبَى خَيْرِ الْأَنَامِ وَمَنْ
جَلَالَةً نَزَلَتْ فِي مَدْحِهِ السُّوَرُ
ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ مَا طَلَعَتْ
شَمْسُ النَّهَارِ وَمَا قَدْ شَعْشَعَ الْقَمَرُ
ثُمَّ الرِّضَا عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ خَلِيفَتِهِ
مَنْ قَامَ مِن بَعْدِهِ لِلدِّينِ يَنْتَصِرُ
وَعَنْ أَبِي حَفْصٍ الْفَارُوقِ صَاحِبِهِ
مَنْ قَوْلُهُ الْفَصْلُ فِي أَحْكَامِهِ عُمَرُ
وَجُدْ لِعُثْمَانَ ذِي النُّورَيْنِ مَنْ كَمُلَتْ
لَهُ الْمَحَاسِنُ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ وَالظَّفَرُ
كَذَا عَلِيٌ مَعَ ابْنَيْهِ وَأُمِّهِمَا
أَهْلُ الْعَبَاءِ كَمَا قَدْ جَاءَنَا الْخَبَرُ
كَذَا خَدِيجَتُنَا الْكُبْرَى الَّتِي بَذَلَتْ
أَمْوَالَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ يَنْتَصِرُ
وَالطَّاهِرَاتُ نِسَاءُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَكَذَا
بَنَاتُهُ وَبَنُوهُ كُلَّمَا ذُكِرُوا
سَعْدٌ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ طَلْحَةٌ وَأَبُو
عُبَيْدَةٍ وَزُبَيْرٌ سَادَةٌ غُرَرُ
وَحَمْزَةٌ وَكَذَا الْعَبَّاسُ سَيِّدُنَا
وَنَجْلُهُ الْحَبْرُ مَنْ زَالَتْ بِهِ الْغِيَرُ
وَالْآلُ وَالصَّحْبُ وَالْأَتْبَاعُ قَاطِبَةً
مَاجَنَّ لَيْلُ الدَّيَاجِي أَوْ بَدَا السَّحَرُ
مَعَ الرِّضَا مِنْكَ فِي عَفْوٍ وَعَافِيَةٍ
وَحُسْنِ خَاتِمَةٍ إِنْ يَنْقَضِي الْعُمُرُ

O my Lord, pour Your blessings upon the Chosen One of Mudar
And the Prophets and all of the Messengers whenever they are mentioned
And pour blessings, O my Lord, upon the Guide and his Followers
And his Companions, those who spread abroad the teachings of the religion
Who fought alongside him in the path of Allah, and struggled valiantly,
Who emigrated, gave him shelter and aided him
Who made clear the fard and the sunna, joined forces
For the sake of Allah, clung to Allah and so were victorious
The most excellent, the most extensive, and the most noble of blessings,
Their fragrant diffusion sweetly permeates the universe
Fragrant with the odour of musk, delightful.
From their scent spreads the sweet perfume of acceptance and good pleasure
In quantity as great as the pebbles, the moist earth, the grains of sand,
Followed by the stars in the heavens, plants of the earth and mounds of clay
As great as the measure of the weight of the mountains,
And the drops of all the water and all the rain
In number as great as the leaves of all the trees,
And every letter or character that will be read or written
In number as great as the wild animals, the birds, fish and cattle
Followed by the jinn, the angels and human beings
The tiny motes and the ants, all the kernels of grain,
As well as hair and wool, feathers and animal fur
And all that which comprises the total sum of knowledge,
And whatever was brought by the commanded Pen and the Divine Decree
In number as great as Your favours,
Which You have bestowed upon created beings, ever since they came into being and were gathered together
As great as his lofty degree
By which the Prophets and the angels were ennobled, and they took pride in this
As great as whatever exists in all the universes, O my Support,
And whatever is still to come into existence, until the Day when the forms will be resurrected
In every twinkling of the eye by which
The people of the heavens and the earths glance or cease to glance
Whatever fills the heavens and the earths, together with the mountains,
The spread-out earth, the Throne, the Footstool and all they contain
Whatever existing thing Allah has caused to vanish, or whatever non-existent thing
He has brought into being, blessings without limit and enduring forever
Whose number lasts through all the ages, as
They are boundless, leaving out nothing, encompassing all
They have no final end and no conclusion, O Mighty One,
And no limit decreed, so consider this well
In number as great as the multiples of all numbers there have been,
Together with multiplying these multiples, O One Who decrees
Just as You love, O my Master, and in accordance with Your pleasure
And as You have commanded us to send blessings, You are the Owner of Mighty Power
Together with peace, to the number of what has been mentioned
O my Lord, and multiply them both so that grace may spread far and wide
All of this further multiplied by Your Right in the breaths
Of Your created beings, whether they be few in number or many
O my Lord, forgive the one who recites it, as well as the one who hears it,
And all of the Muslims, wherever they may be
And our parents, our families and our neighbours
For all of us, O my Master, are in great need of forgiveness
I have committed many wrong actions - there is no end to them!
But indeed Your pardon leaves nothing - no sin remains
Worry has preoccupied me from all that I hope to attain,
And it came humbly and with a broken heart
I beseech You, O my Lord, to show us mercy in the two worlds,
By the rank of the one in whose hands pebbles glorified God
O my Lord, increase for us both our reward and forgiveness,
For surely Your Generosity is a sea without a shore
Settle the debts which leave noble character in difficult straits,
And release us from our troubles, O You Who are Powerful
Be kind to us whenever calamities befall us,
With a beautiful kindness which causes all distress to disappear
By Mustafa, the Elected One, the Best of Creation,
In whose praise surahs were revealed to honour him
And then prayers be upon the Chosen One
As long as the sun shines upon the day, and the moon casts its radiance about
And may You be pleased with Abu Bakr, his caliph,
Who stood up for the religion after he was gone
And with Abu Hafs al-Faruq, his companion
Umar, whose word in his rulings was decisive,
And bestow good upon Uthman, he of the two lights, for whom
The virtues were perfected in the two worlds, and in the final victory
And likewise Ali, as well as his two sons and their mother,
The People of the Cloak, as has come down to us in tradition
And also our lady Khadijah al-Kubra who generously gave her wealth
In order to help and support the Messenger of Allah
And those pure women, the wives of Mustafa,
And his daughters and sons, whenever they are mentioned
As well as Sad, Sad ibn Awf and Talha
And Abu Ubayda and Zubayr, the finest of masters
And Hamza and also Abbas, our master, and his son,
The learned one through whom difficulties were resolved
And all the Family and Companions, and all the Followers,
As long as darkness still falls upon the night, and the dawn reappears
Bless them with good pleasure from You in pardon and well-being
And with a good ending when life draws to a close.
