Ya Kitaab Al Ghuyoob
يا كتاب الغيوب
Arabic text
يَا كِتَابَ الْغُيُوبِ قَدْ لَجَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ
يَا شِفَاءَ الْقُلُوب الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ
أَنْتَ مَجْلَى الْجَلَالِ فِي نِظَامِ الْجَمَال
كُلُّ هَذَا النَّوَال فَاضَ مِنْ رَاحَتَيْك
أَنْتَ رُوحُ الْوُجُودِ كَنْزُ فَضْلٍ وَجُودِ
فِي مَقَامِ الشُّهُودِ كُلُّ فَضْلٍ لَدَيْكَ
أَنْتَ سِرُّ الْكِتَابِ عَنْكَ فَصْلُ الْخِطَابِ
وَبِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ فَالرُّجُوعُ إِلَيْكَ
أَنْتَ بِالإِفْتِتَاحِ خَتْمُ حِزْبِ النَّجَاحِ
وَمَنَارُ الصَّلَاحِ لَاحَ مِنْ مَظْهَرَيْكَ
أَنْتَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ رُوحُ جِسْمِ الْيَقِينِ
مَوْكِبُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ قَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ
أَنْتَ هَادِي الْأُمَمِ أَنْتَ بَحْرُ الْكَرَمِ
أَنْتَ صُبْحُ النِّعَمِ فَجُّ مِنْ بُرْدَتَيْكَ
أَنْتَ طَهَ الرَّسُولُ تَاجُ أَهْلِ الْقَبُولِ
كُلُّ هَمِّي يَزُولُ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْكَ
رُوحُ هَذَا الْحَقِيرِ عَبْدُكَ الْمُسْتَجِيرُ
بِالْغَرَامِ الْوَفِيرِ قَبَّلَتْ قَدَمَيْكَ
وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا رَسُولَ الْأَنَامِ
مَا شَدَا مُسْتَهَامٌ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْكَ

English translation
O Reader of the unseen, we have come towards you.
O Healer of Hearts, prayers be upon You
You are the manifestation of majesty within the order of beauty
All of this bounty flows from Your two hands
You are the soul of existence, a treasure of grace and generosity
In the station of witnessing, all virtue is with You
You are the secret of the Book; about You is the final word
And on the Day of Judgment, the return is to you
With the opening, You seal the chapter of success
And the beacon of righteousness shines from Your appearance
You are the spirit of certainty in the world of beings
The procession of messengers stands before you
You are the guide of nations, You are the ocean of generosity
You are the dawn of blessings flowing from Your cloak.
You are Taha, the Messenger, the crown of those accepted
All my worries vanish with prayers upon you
The soul of this humble one, Your supplicant servant
With abundant love, I kiss Your feet.
Peace be upon You, O Messenger of humanity
As long as a longing lover chants prayers upon You
