 al-Hā’iyyah By Shaykh Ḥāfiẓ al-Ḥakamī (d.1377H)
[1] What have I to do with the Dunya
and it is not my purpose
Nor the final destination of my
goal and I am not [created] for it
[2] I do not incline towards it nor
towards
Its leadership due to the foul,
ugliness of its condition
[3] It is an abode of worry, grief, and
humiliation
Quick is its expiration and soon
is its demise
[4] Its easiness is difficulty and its joy,
sadness
Its profits are loss and its
perfection, deficiency
[5] If it makes [a person] laugh it will
make [them] weep even if a fool
Obtains its bounty, O how quick
its attainment comes to an end
[6] So I ask my Lord by His Might and
Strength
To come between me and its
assassination/annihilation
[7] So O zealous seeker of the lowly
worldly life
Would you seek other than it,
for it [the worldly life] does not have a
permanence
[8] How many have we seen of those
who were eager and sympathetic for it
Then they did not triumph after
obtaining it
[9] It has come in a Verse in Suratul-
Hadeed and in Suratul-Yunus.
And in Suratul-Kahf is a
clarification of it through the striking of
a parable
[10] And in Surah Ali-Imran and in
Suratul-Faatir
And in Ghaafir there has come
an exposition of its condition
[11] In Suratul-Ahqaf is the greatest of
admonishment
And how many Hadith
necessitate [that one should] keep away
from it
[12] A group of people looked towards
it with an eye of insight
So it did not delude them by its
adornment
[13] Those are the people of Allah in
truth and His party
For them is Jannatul-Firdaws as
an inheritance, O how great it is for the
one who possess it
[14] Other people inclined towards it
due to their ignorance
So when they were satisfied
with it, it struck them with its arrows
[15] They were a people who were
preferred [the worldly life over the
hereafter] and were punished by it
With humiliation in the
hereafter and they tasted its evil
consequence
[16] So say to those who were trialed
with it: wait and see
[What you perceive to be] pure
water will turn into poison
[17] They amuse themselves and are
deceived by it and it did not become
manifest to them
[The time] when their souls will
reach their throats and the rope of the
worldly life will be cut
[18] The Day every soul will be paid in
full for what it earned
And the negligent soul will offer
a ransom even if it is its offspring and
wealth
[19] It will take its book in the right hand
If it did well, or the opposite,
with its left.
[20] The Book will make clear what a
soul did in private and public
And what it sent forward from
speech and action
[21] In the hands of the Noble Scribes it
was recorded
The excuses and argument of
the soul will not avail it in the least
[22] There the soul will know its profit
and its loss
It is that Day that it will receive
its outcome
[23] If the soul is from the people of
happiness and taqwa
Then for it is Paradise due to its
good actions
[24] It will gain the Gardens of Pleasure
(in Paradise) and its Hoor (beautiful fair
females)
It will enjoy its meadows and its
shade
[25] It will be provided with what it
desires from Paradise’s bounty
And it will drink from its
Tasneem (the best drink in Paradise)
and its fresh waters
[26] They will have the Day of Mazeed
for an appointment
An increase [i.e. Seeing Allah] as
a nearness [to Allah] which other than
them will not attain
[27] Faces will be gazing towards the
Face of the Ilah (God) [with their eyes]
How many eyes became wet
with tears for [this reason]
[28] The Merciful Lord will appear with
the greetings of peace
They will increase in beauty due
to that appearance
[29] In a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise) near
their Lord
And the abode of eternity not
fearing its demise
[30] Its fruit is that with which their eyes
delight
Its rivers spring forth from its
midst
[31] Upon thrones woven with gold and
precious stones, then its couches
As our Lord said in describing it
[32] Its linings are silk brocade, so what
is your opinion
About its apparent
[appearance]? There is no end to its
[apparent] beauty
[33] If the soul is from the other [i.e. the
people of misery] then [for it] is woe and
failure
And the Hell-fire, how severe is
its consequence
[34] They will have underneath them a
bed of fire and above them
A covering of fire and a shadow
of smoke; evil is its shade
[35] Their food in it is the filth from the
washing of wounds and if they drink
Along with it boiling hot water,
their stomach will be cut [as a result of
it]
[36] Their hope in the Hell-fire is to be
destroyed and they will not have
Any exit nor death just as the
Hell-fire has no end
[37] So say: O sincere advisor to his soul
that there is not except these two
[abodes]
To either earn good deeds or be
punished for what the soul has done
[38] So glad tidings for the soul that
decreases [its indulgence of the worldly
life]
And is saved through
sufficiency: nothing against it nor for it
