نَحْنُ فِي رَوْضَةِ الرَّسُولِ حُضُورٌ

By Muhammad ibn al-Habib

Arabic text

الله الله الله الله يا مَوْلَانَا
الله الله الله بِفَضْلِكَ كُلِّهْ
نَحْنُ فِي رَوْضَةِ الرَّسُولِ حُضُورٌ
طَالِبِينَ الرِّضَى وَحُسْنَ قَبُولِ
جِئْنَا يَاخَيْرَ مَنْ إِلَيْهِ المَلَاذُ
بِانْكِسَارٍ وَ ذِلَّةٍ وَذُهُولِ
فَاسْأَلِ اللهَ فِينَا كُلَّ عِنَايَةْ
لِنَنَالَ المُنَى فِي وَقْتِ الحُلُولِ
لَكَ قَدْرٌ عَظِيمٌ لَيْسَ يُضَاهَى
وَرِسَالَةْ تَفُوقُ كُلَّ رَسُولِ
أَنْتَ بَابُ الإِلَهِ فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
مَنْ أَتَى فَازَ بِالرِّضَى وَالوُصُولِ
كُلُّ سِرٍّ فِي الأَنْبِيَاءْ قَدْ أَتَاهُمْ
مِنْ عُلَاكُمْ مُؤَيَّدًا بِنُقُولِ
قَدْ تَشَفَّعْتُ فِي أُمُورِي إِلَهِي
بِالنَّبِيِّ المُشَفَّعِ المَقْبُولِ
كُلُّ مَنْ حَطَّ رَحْلَهُ بِكَرِيمٍ
نَالَ أَقْصَى المُنَى وَكُلَّ السُّولِ
قَدْ شَكَرْنَا الإِلَهَ فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ
حَيْثُ مَنَّ بِزَوْرَةٍ لِرَسُولِ
وَكَذَاكَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ فِي بَقِيعٍ
مِنْ صِحَابٍ كَذَاكَ نَسْلُ البَتُولِ
وَكَذَاكَ لِكُلِّ زَوْجٍ وَبِنْتٍ
وَابْنِ مُنْجِي الأَنَامِ يَوْمَ الحُلُولِ
وَكَذَاكَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ فِي أُحُدٍ
مِنْ شَهِيدٍ كَذَاكَ عَمُّ الرَّسُولِ
قَدْ طَلَبْنَا بِهِمْ تَمَامَ السَّلَامَةْ
فِي مَسِيرٍ لِأَرْضِنَا وَالدُّخُولِ
وَطَلَبْنَا النَّجَاةَ فِي يَومِ حَشْرٍ
وَسَلَامًا مِنْ كُلِّ فَظٍّ جَهُولِ
رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَآلٍ
وَصِحَابٍ وَتَابِعٍ بِشُمُولِ

English translation

Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, O our Master!
Allah, Allah, Allah, [grant us] entirely by Your Grace.
We are present in the Meadow (Rawḍah) of the Messenger,
Seeking contentment and good acceptance.
We have come, O best of those to whom one seeks refuge,
With brokenness, humility, and awe.
So ask Allah for every care regarding us,
So we may attain our desires at the time of arrival (death).
You have a magnificent rank that cannot be matched,
And a message that surpasses every messenger.
You are the door to the Divine in every good;
Whoever comes [through you] succeeds in [attaining] contentment and union.
Every secret in the Prophets has come to them
From your highness, supported by transmitted texts.
I have sought intercession in my affairs, my God,
Through the Prophet, the one granted intercession, the accepted one.
Everyone who unloads his saddle [stays] with a Generous One,
Attains the utmost desires and every request.
We have thanked the Divine at every time,
As He bestowed the favor of a visit to a Messenger.
And likewise [we visit] everyone in Baqīʿ,
Of the Companions, and likewise the descendants of Al-Batūl (Fatima).
And likewise to every wife and daughter,
And son of the Savior of mankind on the Day of Arrival (Judgment).
And likewise to everyone in Uḥud,
Of the martyrs, likewise the uncle of the Messenger (Hamza).
We have sought through them complete safety,
In the journey to our land and the entry.
And we sought salvation on the Day of Gathering,
And peace from every harsh, ignorant one.
My Lord, send blessings upon the Prophet and Family,
And Companions and Followers inclusively.
