Translation of the Nasheed - "HAJAR AL-LADHAIDH" (He Departed from Delights)
...by "ABU ABDEL MALIK"
---
هجر اللذائذ وانبرى ٭٭ ليثــًا بأدغال الشَّرى
He departed from delights and faced off, like a lion in the lairs of al-Shara.
باع الحياة رخيصةً ٭٭ لله والله اشترى
He sold his life cheaply, to God, and God purchased.
لم تُغرهِ الدنيا ولم ٭٭ يثنهِ ما حاك الورى
He was not tempted by the world, and nor was he turned away by what mortals have fabricated;
بل لبَّى حيَّ على الجهاد ٭٭ ومضى بأجفان السُّرى
Rather, he answered to a call for jihad, and he went on, in the eyelids of the night journey.
درب الشَّدائد عِشقُهُ ٭٭ لم يسبِهِ عشق الكرى
The path of harshness was his love; he was not enthralled by love for slumber.
قد عافى لين فِرَاشِهِ ٭٭ وغدا ليفترش الثرى
He spurned the softness of his bed, so he could lie resting upon the soil tomorrow.
مُتَوَسِّدٌ صخر العنا ٭٭ مُـتَجَلِّدًا مُتَصَـبِّرا
Sleeping on a rock, as if a pillow, causing weariness; solidly enduring, firm in patience.
أغرته لذَّات الهوى ٭٭ فأبى بأن يتقهقرا
The pleasures of lust entice him, yet he refuses to retreat.
وتزيَّنت في وجهِهِ ٭٭ فازداد عنها تَـنَـكُّرا
And they are embellished in his face, so his defiance to them [pleasures] increases;
عاشق الجنان وحورها ٭٭ ورنا إليها فشمَّرا
A lover of the heavens and its maidens, and he glances toward them, so he rises up.
ورأى الشهادة مُنيةً٭٭ والموت أسعد ما يرى
And he sees martyrdom as his wish, and death is the happiest of all that he sees,
خاض الحروب بهمَّةٍ ٭٭ مُـتَـوَثِّـبـــًا و مُـكَـبِّـرا
He plunged into wars with ambition; leaping, and uttering "Allahu Akbar".
كم قد أحال بغزوِهِ ٭٭ ليل الأعادي مِجْمَرا
How many had changed because of his raid, a night in which the enemies burned.
مُـتَـخَنْدِقٌ في ثغرِهِ ٭٭ يقطن يأسر من ضرا
Accustomed to the trenches, in his frontline he dwells, taking captive whoever does harm.
مُتَوثِّبٌ في عزمِهِ ٭٭ لم يلتفتْ يومـًا وراء
Exuberant in his resolve, he did not turn to look behind him for a day.
ما ذاق طعم الذُّلِّ لا ٭٭ كالنسر في شُمِّ الذُّرى
He did not taste the food of humiliation, no! Like an eagle at the heights of the peaks.
مُـتَلِـفِّــعٌ بسلاحِهِ٭٭ والعزم منه تَفَجَّرا
Wrapped up with his weapon, while resolve gushes from him,
غاص الصعاب وهولها ٭٭ ما هاب كفرًا أو ضرى
He dives into difficulties and their horror, unafraid of disbelief or harm.
يا رُبَّ ليلٍ لم يَذُقْ٭٭ فيه اللذيذ من الكرى
O, perhaps there would be a night, in which he would not taste the comfort of slumber!
أينامُ في لذَّاتِهِ ٭٭ والكفر بالحقد انبرى؟
Is he to sleep in his comfort, while disbelief faces off in hatred?
حشدت له أعداؤُهُ٭٭ ويقينُهُ صلب العرى
His enemies mobilized against him, while his certainty was steel-solid, laid bare.
ضاقت به أيامُهُ٭٭ والقلب منه استبشرا
His days grew tight with him, and the heart rejoiced from it.
أَنَّـتْ لَهُ أقدامُهُ٭٭ وبكتْ إليهِ تَـفَـطُّرا
His legs groaned to him, and cried to him tearfully,
وشكتْ لَهُ أطرافُهُ٭٭ يكفي أسىً وتَـصَبُّـرا
And his limbs complained to him, enough of the pain and endurance!
فأجابها مُـتَـجَـلِّـدًا : قد ٭٭ بِعْتُ والله اشترى
And so he replied to them, solid like a boulder: I have sold, and God purchased!
