The recital is as follows:

أَلَا يَا لَطِيفُ يَا لَطِيفُ لَكَ اللُّطْفُ  فَأَنْتَ اللَّطِيفُ مِنْكَ يَشْمَلُنَا اللُّطْفُ
-Alaa yaa lateefu yaa lateefu lakal lutfu
Fa-antal lateefu minka yashmalunal lutfu
O Gentle One, O Gentle One, kindness is Yours!
You are the Kind and Gentle One, and from You kindness engulfs us

لَطِيفُ لَطِيفُ إِنَّنِي مُتَوَسِّلٌ   بِلُطْفِكَ فَالْطُفْ بِي وَقَدْ نَزَلَ اللُّطْفُ
Lateefu lateefu -innanee mutawassilun
Bi lutfika faltuf bee wa qad nazalal lutfu
O Gentle One, O Gentle One, I beseech You by Your gentleness
Be gentle to me—and the gentleness has descended

بِلُطْفِكَ عُدْنَا يَا لَطِيفُ وَهَا نَحْنُ   دَخَلْنَا فِي وَسْطِ اللُّطْفِ وَانْسَدَلَ اللُّطْفُ
Bi lutfika ‘udnaa yaa lateefu wa haa naHnu
Dakhalnaa fi wastil lutfi wansadalal lutfu
And here we are, we have returned O Gentle One, by Your Kindness
We have entered into the midst of gentleness—and gentleness is drawn over us

نَجَوْنَا بِلُطْفِ اللهِ ذِي اللُّطْفِ إِنَّهُ   لَطِيفٌ لَطِيفٌ لُطْفُهُ دَائِمًا لُطْفُ
Najawnaa bi lutfiLlaahi dhil lutfi -innahu
Lateefun lateefun lutfuhu daa-iman lutfu
We are saved by the gentleness of Allah, the Possessor of Kindness
He is Gentle! Gentle! His gentleness never ends

أَلَا يَا حَفِيظُ يَا حَفِيظُ لَكَ الْحِفْظُ   فَأَنْتَ الْحَفِيظُ مِنْكَ يَشْمَلُنَا الْحِفْظُ
-Alaa yaa Hafeezhu yaa Hafeezhu lakal Hifzhu
Fa-antal Hafeezhu minka yashmalunal Hifzhu
O Protector, O Protector, protection is Yours!
You are the Protector, and from You the protection engulfs us

حَفِيظُ حَفِيظُ إِنَّنَا نَتَوَسِّلٌ    بِحِفْظِكَ فَاحْفَظْنَا وَقَدْ نَزَلَ الْحِفْظُ
Hafeezhu Hafeezhu -innanaa natawassilun
-Bi Hifzhika faHfazhnaa wa qad nazalal Hifzhu
O Protector, O Protector, we beseech you by Your protection
So safeguard us with Your protection—and the protection has descended

بِحِفْظِكَ عُدْنَا يَاحَفِيظُ وَهَا نَحْنُ    دَخَلْنَا فِي وَسْطِ الْحِفْظِ وَانْسَدَلَ الْحِفْظُ
Bi Hifzhika ‘udnaa yaa Hafeezhu wa haa naHnu
Dakhalnaa fi wastil Hifzhi wan sadalal Hifzhu
And here we are, we have returned by Your protection
We have entered into the midst of protection – and protection is drawn over us

نَجَوْنَا بِحِفْظِ اللهِ ذِي الْحِفْظِ إِنَّهُ    حَفِيظٌ حَفِيظٌ حِفْظُهُ دَائِمًا حِفْظُ
Najawnaa bi HifzhiLlaahi dhil Hifzhi -innahu
Hafeezhun Hafeezhun Hifzhuhu daa’iman Hifzhu
We are saved by the protection of Allah, the Possessor of Protection
He is protecting! Protecting! His protection never ends

بِجَاهِ إِمَامِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مُحَمَّدٍ  فَلَوْلَاهُ عَيْنَ الْلُطْفِ مَا نَزَلَ الْلُطْفُ
Bijaahi -imaamil mursaleena MuHammadin
Falawlaahu ‘aynal lutfi maa nazalal lutfu
By the rank of the leader of the Messengers: Muhammad
Were he not the source of the gentleness, then it would never have descended

عَلَيْهِ سَلَامُ اللهِ مَا قَالَ مُنْشِدٌ    أَلَا يَا لَطِيفُ يَا لَطِيفُ لَكَ الْلُطْفُ
‘Alayhi salaammuLlaahi maa qaala munshidun
-Alaa yaa lateefu yaa lateefu lakal lutfu
Prayers of Allah upon him, for the amount of those who chant
O Gentle One! Gentle One! Gentleness is Yours!

STRANGER STARS

Hisb Al Bahr - Shadhili Wadhifa

This highly potent du’a by the renowned Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Nasir, was recited across Morocco and inspired resistance to the French occupation. So powerful was it that the French President had to issue an order banning its recitation from the mosques. Moroccans date the movement to return King Muhammad from that outlawing of the du’a. It is appropriate to the present state of the Muslim ummah today. See: http://seekershub.org/blog/2011/02/dua-nasiri-for-the-middle-east/

Dua Nasiri [The Prayer of the Oppressed]

Ey dil bize ver bir haber
Aşk illerine kim gider
Hasretle yandı ciğer
Mevla, Aşk illerine kim gider

İster gönül ol illeri
Müşgîn kokar sünbülleri
Solmaz o bağın gülleri
Mevla, Aşk illerine kim gider

Âşıklara vakt-i seher
Ondan nesîm-i aşk eser
Ol nefhadan alıp haber
Mevla, Aşk illerine kim gider

Ey hâb-ı gafletde kalan
Fursat geçer bir dem uyan
Bâkî değil bezm-i cihân
Allah, Aşk illerine kim gider

Billâhi ol ilin yolu
Nûrî'ye olur sevgili
Bağlandı aşkın mahmili
Mevla, Aşk illerine kim gider

Mawlid of the Pride fo Creation (vocals and Duff) is the instrument free version of the Album. Based on the English Mawlid Book with the same title, this is one of the first English mawlids comprised of English sung poetry telling the story of the birth of Sayyidna Muhammad. Ali Elsayed does a magnificent job with this project. This is by far his best work. The Album has a version with musical instruments for those who follow the opinion that music is permissible.
