(Colloquial Style) Ya Imam Ar Rusli By Syrian Munshids

This poem in praise of The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, is one of my favourites.  This past Thursday (October 6th, 2011), we sang it again at SeekersHub Toronto, in an East African style.

NaderKhan: The Muhammadan Ode ("Qasida Muhammadiya") in an East African style

اللهُ الله اللهُ رَبِّي عَوْنِي وَحَسْبِي مَالِي سِوَاهُ
CHORUS: Allahu Allah Allahu Rabbi, ‘awnee wa Hasbee, maalee siwaahu
Allah is my Lord, The One who helps me
And He is sufficient for me, I have no one except Him

يَا أَبَا الزَّهْرَاء   بِالَّذِي صَانَكْ   لَاتُخَيِّبْنَا
يَا سِيدِي نَحْنُ ضِيْفَانَكْ يَا سِيدِي نَحْنُ ضِيْفَانَكْ
Yaa -abbaz Zahraa, billadhee saanak, la tukhayyibnaa
Yaa seedee naHnu deefaanak yaa seedee naHnu deefaanak
O Father of Zahra, by the one who protects you, don’t let us come to nothing
O My Master we are your guests, O My Master we are your guests

رَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانْ    مَا بَيْنَ الْخُلَّانْ   جَنَّةٌ الرِّضْوَانْ
يَا سِيدِي فِي حَضْرَاتِنَا يَا سِيدِي فِي حَضْرَاتِنَا
RawHun wa rayHaan, maa baynal khullaan, jannatur ridwaan
Yaa seedee fi Hadraatinaa yaa seedee fi Hadraatina
Care and provision amongst intimate friends, in gardens of pleasure
O My Master in our presence, O My Master in our presence

حَضْرَةُ الْقُدُّوسْ   مَحْيَا لِلنُّفُوسْ   جَنَّةٌ الْفِرْدَوسْ
يَا سِيدِي نَحْتَاجْ إِلَيْكَ يَا سِيدِي نَحْتَاجْ إِلَيْكَ
Hadratul quddoos, maHyaa linnufoos, jannatul firdaws
Yaa seedee naHtaaj -ilayka yaa seedee naHtaaj -ilayka
The Holy Presence, the reviver of the souls, the highest heaven
O My Master we are in need of you, O My Master we are in need of you

مِنْ خَمْرِ الْعِرْفَانْ   سُقِينَا قِذَانْ   مِنْ يَدِ الْوِلْدَانْ
يَا سِيدِي مُخَلَّدِينَا يَا سِيدِي مُخَلَّدِينَا
Min khamril ‘irfaan, suqeenaa qidhaan, min yadil wildaan
Yaa seedee mukhalladeenaa yaa seedee mukhalladeenaa
The wine of the Gnostics, satiates us, served by the everlasting youth
O My Master we will abide therein forever, O My Master we will abide forever (and be served)
 
حَالُ الْعَارِفِينْ    مُتَقَابِلِينْ    عَلَى سُرُرٍ
يَا سِيدِي مُسْتَبْشِرِينَا يَا سِيدِي مُسْتَبْشِرِينَا
Haalul ‘aarifeen, mutaqaabileen, ‘alaa sururin
Yaa seedee mustabshireenaa yaa seedee mustabshireenaa
The sublime state of the Gnostics, facing each other upon thrones of honour
O My Master they were given glad tidings, O My Master they were given glad tidings

أَبْنَاءُ الْحَضْرَة    لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَى   مِنْ قَبْلِ الْأُخْرَى
يَا سِيدِي مُعَزَّزِينَا يَا سِيدِي مُعَزَّزِينَا
-Abnaa-ul Hadrah, lahumul bushraa, min qablil -ukhraa
Yaa seedee mu’azzazeenaa yaa seedee mu’azzazeenaa
The Children of the Presence, for them is the glad tiding given to them before the next world
O My Master they are honoured, O My Master they are honoured

عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَانْ  فِي كُلِّ زَمَانْ   لَهُمُ الْأَمَانْ
يَا سِيدِي مُطْمَئِنِّينَا يَا سِيدِي مُطْمَئِنِّينَا
‘Ibaadur raHmaan, fi kulli zamaan, lahamul -amaan
Yaa seedee mutma-inneenaa, yaa seedee mutma-inneenaa
The servants of the Most Merciful, have safety in all times
O My Master they are tranquil, O My Master they are tranquil

A gorgeous qasida by Imam al-Haddad, here sung in a Scottish Style by Harmonia Alcorani.

Translation:
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

For my du’a and my agonising supplication
is a witness to my poverty.

For this secret (reason) I make supplication
in times of ease and times of difficulty

I am a slave whose pride
is in his poverty and obligation

O my Lord and my King
You know my state

And what has settled in my heart
of agonies and preoccupations

Save me with a gentleness
from You, O Lord of Lords

Oh save me, Most Generous
before I run out of patience (with myself)

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

O One who is swift in sending aid
I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly

It will defeat all difficulty
and it will bring all that I hope for

O Near One Who answers
and All-Knowing and All-Hearing

I have attained realisation through my incapacity,
my submission and my brokenness

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord
have mercy on my standing

And in the valley of generosity, I am in i’tikaf (solitary retreat)
So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent

And I’m abiding by good opinion (of You)
For it is my friend and ally

And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company
All day and night

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

There is a need in my soul, O Allah
so please fulfil it, O Best of Fulfillers

And comfort my secret and my heart
from its burning and its shrapnel

In pleasure and in happiness
and as long as You are pleased with me

For joy and expansion is my state
and my motto and my cover

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

Qad Kafani ilmu Rabbi ﻗد ﮐﻔﺎﻧﻲ ﻋﻟم رﺑﻲ

LANGUAGE: Urdu

SONGWRITER: Muhammad Iqbal Naqibi

INSPIRATION:
This qawwali was masterfully delivered time and again by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It is rendered here more as a song than a pure qawwali. The various tangential improvisations that are expected in a qawwali have been kept to a minimum. I’ve also opted to use an opening verse that was presented in a television rendition by the Indian singer Toshi Sabri.

LYRICS:
Hava khilaf thi, lekin chiragh khub jala
Khuda bhi hone ke kya kya sabut deta hai

Tere hi nam se har ibteda hai
Tere hi nam tak har inteha hai
Teri hamd o sana, alhamdu liLlah
Ke Tu mere Muhammad ka Khuda hai

Ye zamin jab na thi, ye jahan jab na tha
Chand suraj na thay, asman jab na tha
Raz-e-haq bhi kisi par ayan jab na tha
Tab na tha kuch yahan, tha magar Tu hi Tu

Kawnain ka masjud hai, ma’bud hai Tu
Har shai Teri shahid hai ke mash-hud hai Tu
Har ek ke lab par hai Teri hamd o sana
Har soz mein, har saaz mein mawjud hai Tu

Tu jo har aan nai shaan dikha deta hai
Dida-e-shawq ko hairan bana deta hai
Dali dali Teri takhliq ke gun gati hai
Patta patta Teri qudrat ka pata deta hai

La ilaha Teri shan ya wahdahu
Tu khayaal-o-tajassus, Tu hi arzu
Ankh ki roshni, dil ki avaz Tu

Khaliq-e-kul hai Tu, is mein kya guftagu
Sare alam ko hai Teri hi justaju
Teri jalvagari hai ayan charsu
Tha bhi Tu, hai bhi Tu, hoga bhi Tu hi Tu

TRANSLATION:
The wind was hostile, but the lantern did burn ever so intensely
How wondrously strange are the affirmations that God presents, of His own existence

From Your name is every beginning
Unto Your name is every ending
To praise You is to say that all praise is for You alone
You are, after all, the God of Muhammad

When this land was not, and neither was this earth
When the moon and the sun were not, and neither was this universe
When the secret of Reality hadn’t yet been bestowed upon anyone
Then, there was nothing here, save You

You’re the one prostrated to, and worshipped in both existences
Every thing attests to Your existence, ergo You are The Witnessed
It’s Your praise and extolling that is on the lips of everyone
You are Existent in every rhythm and in every tune

You Who manifests a novel majesty ever so frequently
You thereby bewilder eyes that are anticipating an experience of Your manifestations
Every branch sings the praise of Your creative feat
Every leaf is a sign that points towards Your supreme power

That there isn’t another god is of Your majesty, O Peerless One
It’s but You Who occupy my imagination, my curiosity, my aspiration
You are the light in my eyes, the voice in my heart

You are the Creator of every thing, without doubt
The entire universe is busied with it’s seeking of You
Your sublime manifestations are evident in all directions
You were Beginninglessly Eternal then, are Ever Present now, and will forever be Endlessly Eternal
