Ma li Siwak Hamm

مَا لِي سِوَاكَ هَم وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَم
فَالْقُرْبُ مَغْنَم وَالْبُعْدُ مَغْرَم
خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ
حُسِبْتُ عَلَيْكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا أَعْلَم
أَنْتَ مُرَادِي فَكُنْ لِيْ هَادِي
فَالْقَلْبُ صَادِي فَزِلْ لِيْ ذَا الْهَمَّ
مَنْ ذَا يَكُنْ لِي إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي
تَرَى لِذُلِّي وَأَنْتَ أَرْحَم
كَمْ ذَا أُنَادِي يَا خَيْرَ هَادِي
يَكْفِي بُعَادِي فَالْجُوْدُ قَدْ عَمَّ
نُوْرُ الْوِصَالِ مَهْرُهُ غَالِي
سِوَاكَ مَا لِي جُدْ وَتَكَرَّمْ
قُرْبِي وَبُعْدِي سِيَّانْ عِنْدِي
لِأَنَّ رُشْدِي فِيْمَا تَقَسَّمْ
فَاجْعَلْ هِبَاتِي رُوْحَ الْحَيَاةِ
حَبِيبْ ذَاتِي طَهَ الْمُعَلِّمْ
تَعْلَمْ لِقَصْدِي حِبِّي وَوُدِّي
فَكُنْ لِلْكُرْدِي فِي كُلِّ مَغْنَمْ
صَلَاةُ رَبِّي لِحَبِيْبْ قَلْبِي
طَهَ الْمُرَبِّي عَلَيْهِ سَلِّمْ

I have no concern but You, and You know it.
Closeness to you is a triumph is a, whilst distance is a depravation.
Draw me to You, into Your embrace,
For I am counted with You in all that I know.
You are my desire, so be my guide;
My heart is parched, lift from me this grief.
Who will be mine if You are not mine?
You see my lowliness, yet You are the Most Merciful.
How long shall I call, O best of guides?
Separation is enough, Your generosity overflows.
The light of union is a costly dowry,
But none besides You have I, so grant and be gracious.
Nearness and distance are the same to me,
For my right guidance lies in what You apportion.
So make my gifts the spirit of life,
My Beloved, the essence, Ṭāhā, the Teacher.
You know my intent, my love, my affection,
So be with al-Kurdī in every triumph.
Blessings from my Lord upon the Beloved of my heart,
Ṭāhā, the nurturer, peace be upon him.
