QASAAID

Salawât in Verse
A Qasida by Sayyid Saleh ‘Izz Ad-Din al-Qâdirî

Translated by: Muhammad Jawad Bagha

Bismi Allah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim

O Allah! Send Peace and Blessings upon Muhammad
And send Peace and Blessings upon The Intercessor for us, Muhammad

If you desire in the two Abodes to receive happiness
Then give increase to the Salaah upon Muhammad

And if you prayed, then seek the reward therein
And petition through the Salaah upon Muhammad

And if you desire surety of its acceptance
Then seal it with the Salaah upon Muhammad

So neither Fasting is sound nor Prayer
For one who leaves the Salaah upon Muhammad

And your action all of it will result in goodness
If you sent salutations within it upon Muhammad

And arise in the night and supplicate to Allah and desire
To your Lord by the Salaah upon Muhammad

And say O Lord! Do not sever my hopes
And to me be favorable with the Salaah upon Muhammad

So hasten with the writing by a little slave [i.e. himself]
Plea by means of the Salaah upon Muhammad

He fears his sins buts hopes for
Safety through the Salaah upon Muhammad

And be favorable during my end for I
Implored you with the Salaah upon Muhammad

So good deeds are not multiplied except
by repeating the Salaah upon Muhammad

And if you see a people devoid in them
Turn to Allah with the Salaah upon Muhammad

Safeguard from them and seek other than them

And make rememberance of the Salaah upon Muhammad

So accumulation of goodness and blessings is not
Seen except with the Salaah upon Muhammad

And fear your Lord in secret and in open
And send salutations upon the Intercessor for us, Muhammad

And if it happened that your sins were innumerable
Cover them with the Salaah upon Muhammad

And when death comes and you see the commandment
Delight in the Salaah upon Muhammad

And in the grave rest with security
And receive mercy through the Salaah upon Muhammad

And do not fear terror from the two Angels
When they question you reply to them “Muhammad”

The Messenger of Allah is true. We follow
And we believe and accept the truth of Muhammad

And in the grave you have a helper
And be fervent in the Salaah upon Muhammad

And on the Day of Ressurection you will be recompensed
For what you sent forth from the rememberance of Muhammad

And on the Day of Account when you are resurrected
Have safety through the Salaah upon Muhammad

And come to the Hawdh drinking from it full cups
Then quench your thirst with the Salaah upon Muhammad

And pass over the Bridge like a flash of lightning
By the virtue of Salaah upon Muhammad

And enter Paradise no death therein
By what you preceded from the rememberance of Muhammad

Then this in entirety is from the Bounty of my Lord
He guided us to the Salaah upon Muhammad

And live luxuriously in the Bliss and companions with beautiful eyes
In the Abode our neighbour in it, Muhammad

And look towards your Lord, full of Majesty
With your rememberance of the Salaah upon Muhammad

So we Praise Allah and Thank Him much
For the Bounty of the Salaah upon Muhammad

A Messenger Abtahi Hashimi
Intercessor for sinners tomorrow, Muhammad

Peace, that is Pleasant, Fragrant, Magnificent
Upon the Chosen One, our Master Muhammad

O Guide to creatures! and O Intercessor!
And O Best of creation! O Muhammad!

Perhaps I gain acceptance to Qaadiriyyah,
It specialises in your Salutations, O Muhammad!
