يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا

قصيده عظيمه للإمام عبدالله
بن علوي الحداد

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

خُذْ يَـمِينًا خُذْ يَـمِينًا
عَنْ سَبِيلِ النَّاكِبِينَا
وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى
عَنْ مَقَالِ الْمُلْحِدِينَا

Take the straight path,
Turn from the way of the unjust
And fear Allah the Almighty
By avoiding the words and actions of those who oppose

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

اَلْإِلٰهُ الْحَـقَّ رَبَّ
الْعَرْشِ رَبَّ الْعَـالَمِينَا
هُـوَ رَبُّ الْأَوَّلِينَ
هُوَ رَبُّ الْآخِـرِينَا 

He (Allah) is the Rightful Owner of the throne, God of the universe
He is the God of the former and the last

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

هُوَ رَبِّي هُوَ حَسْبِي
هُوَ خَـيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَا
هُوَ غَفَّارُ الْخَطَايَ
هُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِـمِينَا

He is my Lord, He is sufficient for me,
He is the best Sustainer
He is The Forgiver of sins,
He is the best of all who are merciful

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنَا جَمِيعًا
فِي الْعِبَادِ الصَّالِحِينَا
 وَارْضَ عَنَّا وَاعْفُ عَنَّا
وَأَجِرْنَا أَجْمَعِينَا

 O Allah, put us all in the ranks of the righteous servants
We seek Your pleasure,
forgive us and reward us all

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي جَهِيمٍ
أُرْصِدَتْ لِلْمُجْرِمِينَا
 مِنْ عُصَاةٍ فَاسِـقِينَا
وَعُتَاةٍ كَافِـرِينَا

 From the torment of hell
that is reserved for sinners
Of the disobedient sinners
and ruthless disbelievers

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنَا جِنَانًـا
اُزْلِفَـتْ لِلْمُـتَّقِينَا
 إِذْ يُنَـادَوْنَ أَدْخُلُـوهَا
بِسَلَامٍ آمـِنِينَا

 O God grant us admittance into paradise promised for the God-conscious
When the call is made to enter it,
they enter safe and sound

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

وَصَلَاةُ اللَّهِ تَغْشَى
أَحْـمَدَ الْهَادِي الْأَمِينَا
 وَعَلَى آلٍ وَصَحْبٍ
وَجَـمِيعِ التَّابِعِينَا

 Allah’s praise and salutations be upon
Ahmad, the trusted guide
And upon his family, friends
and all his followers

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us

وَصَلَاةُ اللَّهِ تَغْشَى
أَحْـمَدَ اْلهَادِي اْلأَمِينَا
مَا تَلَا تَالٍ قُرْآنَا
جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ مُبِينَا

  Allah’s praise and salutations be upon
Ahmad, the trusted guide
As long as the Quran is read,
truth to reality will be brought clear

يَا تَوَّابْ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا

O The One Who accepts repentance, accept our repentance
Have mercy on us and please gaze upon us
