From [Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/qasaaid/691f292bc02b144934a4ec1f) by [Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/authors/69172463686829cc1d041df5)

**1.** حَيَاتِي لِخَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ مَنْ زَحْزَحَ الْغَيْنَا / وَمَزَّقَ أَهْلَ الْبُطْلِ إِذْ زَخْرَفُوا الْمَيْنَا

_Ḥayātī li-khayri al-khalqi man zaḥzaḥa al-ghaynā / Wa mazzaqa ahla al-buṭli idh zakhrafū al-maynā_

My life is for the Best of Creation, who pushed away the clouds of the heart and tore apart the people of falsehood when they embellished their lies.

**2.** كَذَلِكَ أَمْرُ الْحَقِّ وَالْبُطْلُ زَاهِــقٌ / وَأَشْكُرُهُ فِي مَيْزِيَ الْغَيْنَ وَالْعَيْنَا

_Kadhālika amru al-ḥaqqi wa al-buṭlu zāhiqun / Wa ashkuruhu fī mayziya al-ghayna wa al-‘aynā_

Such is the command of the Truth, while falsehood is bound to vanish; and I thank Him for my ability to distinguish between the Ghayn (veil) and the Ayn (essence).

**3.** فَشَوْقِي لِعَبْدِ اللّٰهِ أَحْمَـــدَ سَيِّــــدِي / مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُخْتَارِ قَدْ زَحْزَحَ الرَّيْنَــا

_Fa-shawqī li-‘Abdi Allāhi Aḥmada sayyidī / Muḥammadin al-mukhtāri qad zaḥzaḥa al-raynā_

My longing for the servant of Allah, Ahmad, my Master—Muhammad the Chosen—has pushed away the rust of the heart.

**4.** فَدَعْ عَنْكَ نَقْطَ الْغَيْنِ فَالْغَيْنُ ظَاهِرٌ / فَنَقْطُكَ عَيْنَ الْعَيْنِ أَبْدَا لَكَ الْغَيْنَــا

_Fada‘ ‘anka naqaṭa al-ghayni fa-al-ghaynu ẓāhirun / Fa-naqṭuka ‘ayna al-‘ayni abdā laka al-ghaynā_

So leave aside the dotting of the Ayn, for the Essence is manifest; and your dotting of the Ayn is what created the Ghayn (cloud) for you.

**5.** وَلَكِنَّ ذَاكَ الشَّـوْقَ غَيْرُ مُزَحْــزَحٍ / وَأَيْنَ دَوَاءُ الشَّوْقِ يَا جِيرَتِي أَيْنَا

_Wa lākinna dhāka al-shawqa ghayru muzahzahin / Wa ayna dawā’u al-shawqi yā jīratī aynā_

Yet that longing itself cannot be pushed away; and where is the cure for longing, O my neighbors, where?

**6.** وَشَوْقِي إِلَى ذَاكَ الْجَنَابِ دَوَاؤُهُ / حَرَامٌ فَلاَ نَرْجُو شِفَاءً وَلاَ حَزْنَا

_Wa shawqī ilā dhāka al-janābi dawā’uhu / Ḥarāmun fa-lā narjū shifā’an wa lā ḥaznā_

My longing for that Presence—its cure is forbidden; so we hope for neither healing nor an end to this sorrow.

**7.** سَلَوْتُ عَنِ الْبِيضِ الْحِسَانِ مَتَى أَرَى / جَمَالَكَ عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ حُسْنًــــا عَلاَ حُسْنَـــا

_Salawtu ‘ani al-bīḍi al-ḥisāni matā arā / Jamālaka ‘Abda Allāhi ḥusnan ‘alā ḥusnā_

I have turned away from the beautiful fair-skinned ladies, for when will I see your beauty, O servant of Allah—a beauty above all beauty?

**8.** صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ عَلَيْــــــهِ مُسَرْمَـــــدًا / مَعَ الْآلِ وَالْأَصْحَابِ قَرْنًا عَلاَ قَرْنَا

_Ṣalātun wa taslīmun ‘alayhi musarmadan / Ma‘a al-āli wa al-aṣḥābi qarṇan ‘alā qarnā_

Prayers and salutations be upon him eternally, along with the family and the companions, generation after generation.

**9.** فَأَفْضَلُ مَبْعُوثٍ مِـنَ اللّٰهِ سَيِّـــدِي / مُحَمَّدُ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ مَنْ جُودُهُ الْحُسْنَى

_Fa-afḍalu mab‘ūthin mina Allāhi sayyidī / Muḥammadu ‘Abdu Allāhi man jūdahu al-ḥusnā_

For he is the best Messenger sent from Allah, my Master; Muhammad, the servant of Allah, whose generosity is the utmost good.

**10.** أَبُو الْبَشَرِ الْمِفْضَالُ آدَمُ تَحْتَهُ / بِأَوْلاَدِهِ طُرًّا يَلُوذُ بِهِ حِينَـــــا

_Abū al-bashari al-mifḍālu Ādamu taḥtahu / Bi-awlādihi ṭurran yalūdhu bihi ḥīnā_

The virtuous father of humanity, Adam, is beneath him; along with all his children, he seeks refuge in him in our time of need.

**11.** وَكُلُّ نَبِيٍّ قَالَ نَفْسِي وَأُمَّتِــي / يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ أَكْرِمْ بِهِ عَيْنَا

_Wa kullu nabiyyin qāla nafsī wa ummatī / Yaqūlu Rasūlu Allāhi akrim bihi ‘aynā_

While every other prophet says, "Myself, my nation," the Messenger of Allah says [the contrary]—how noble is his concern!

**12.** فَبَرْهَامُ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ بِالْحِقْــوِ لاَئِـــــذٌ / فَلاَ يَخْتَشِي نَابًا وَكَيْدًا وَلاَ حَيْنَا

_Fa-Barhāmu ‘Abdu Allāhi bi-al-ḥiqwi lā’idhun / Fa-lā yakhtashī nāban wa kaydan wa lā ḥīnā_

Barham, the servant of Allah, is seeking refuge in his protection; so he fears no fang, no plot, and no destruction.

**13.** أَرَى أَنَّنِي عَبْـــــدُ الْمَلِيكِ حَقِيقَــــةً / فَلاَ حَظَّ لِلْأَغْيَارِ فِي الْقَلْبِ لاَ شَيْنَا

_Arā annanī ‘Abdu al-Malīki ḥaqīqatan / Fa-lā ḥaẓẓa li-al-aghyāri fī al-qalbi lā shaynā_

I see that I am truly the servant of the King; there is no share for "others" in my heart, and no blemish.

**14.** وَذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ حَدَّثْــــتُ شَاكِـــرًا / وَفَخْرًا بِحَقٍّ لاَ بِسُعْدَى وَلاَ لُبْنَى

_Wa dhālika faḍlu Allāhi ḥaddathtu shākiran / Wa fakhran bi-ḥaqqin lā bi-Su‘dā wa lā Lubnā_

That is the grace of Allah which I recount in gratitude; a pride in the Truth, not in romantic tales of Su'da or Lubna.

**15.** عَلَى أَحْمَدٍ وَالْآلِ وَالصَّحْبِ دَائِمًا / صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ تُنفِّي لَنَا الْغَيْنَـــــا

_‘Alā Aḥmada wa al-āli wa al-ṣaḥbi dā’iman / Ṣalātun wa taslīmun tunaffī lanā al-ghaynā_

Upon Ahmad, the family, and the companions always be prayers and salutations that remove the clouds from us.
