Qasīdat al-Hamziyya (Arabic: قصيدة الهمزية), or al-Hamziyya for short, is a thirteenth-century ode of praise for the Islamic prophet Muhammad composed by the eminent Sufi mystic Imam al-Busiri of Egypt.^[1][2]

This poem was written according to the metre of Bahr Khafif [Wikidata] in Arabic poetry, and it is composed of 457 verses.^[3][4][5]

In 2025, Sandala Inc. and Abu Zahra Press, Inc. published an annotated English translation of the complete Hamziyyah, introduced by a comprehensive essay that places the poem in a wider ethical and historical context, by American Muslim scholar Hamza Yusuf.^[6]
