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.** مُحَمَّــــدُ عَبْــــدُ اللّٰهِ غَيْرُ مُشَبَّـــــهِ / بِهِ بَشَرٌ مَنْ رَامَ ذَلِـــــكَ سَفِّـــــــهِ

_Muḥammadu ‘Abdu Allāhi ghayru mushabbah / Bihi basharun man rāma dhālika saffahu_

Muhammad is the servant of Allah, and no human can be compared to him; whoever attempts such a comparison, consider them foolish.

**2.** فَهُو صِفَةٌ شَبَّهْتُـهُ بِاسْـــــمِ فَاعِـــلٍ / وَلَيْسَ بِشِبْهِ الْمُصْطَفَى غَيْرُ عَيْنِهِ

_Fahuwa ṣifatun shabb-ahtu bismī fā‘ilin / Wa laysa bishibhi al-Muṣṭafā ghayru ‘aynihī_

He is like an Attribute that I have likened to an active participle, yet there is nothing like the Chosen One except his own essence.

**3.** مُحَمَّدُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْــــــهُ غَيْـــــرُ إِلَـهِــهِ / يَضِيقُ جَمِيعُ الْكَوْنِ عَنْ حَمْلِ كَوْنِهِ

_Muḥammadu lam ya‘rifhu ghayru ilāhihī / Yaḍīqu jamī‘u al-kawni ‘an ḥamli kawnihī_

None truly knows Muhammad except his God, for the entire universe is too narrow to contain the reality of his being.

**4.** تَعَرَّفَ فِيهِ الْحَــــقُّ وَهْوَ مُنَكَّــــرٌ / مُطَلْسَمُ سِـــــرٍّ لاَ يَرِيمُ بِقُدْسِــــهِ

_Ta‘arrafa fīhi al-ḥaqqu wa huwa munakkar / Muṭalsamu sirrun lā yarīmu bi-qudsihī_

The Truth (God) made Himself known through him while he remained an "unknown" entity, a talismanoic secret never departing from its sanctity.

**5.** مُحَمَّدُ شَمْسُ الْحَقِّ فَضْلاً وَشُهْرَةً / فَهُو الْعَلَمُ الْمَعْرُوفُ عَيْنُ تَنَـــــزُّهِ

_Muḥammadu shamsu al-ḥaqqi faḍlan wa shuhra / Fahuwa al-‘alamu al-ma‘rūfu ‘ayna tanazzuh_

Muhammad is the Sun of Truth in virtue and fame; he is the well-known banner and the very essence of purity.

**6.** جَمَادَاتُ هَذَا الْكَوْنِ تَدْرِي مُحَمَّـــدًا / كَذَا الْعُجْمُ وَالْأَعْجَامُ مِنْ بَعْدِ عُرْبِهِ

_Jamādātu hādhā al-kawni tadri Muḥammadan / Ka-dhā al-‘ujmu wa al-a‘jāmu min ba‘di ‘urbihī_

The inanimate objects of this universe recognize Muhammad, as do the foreigners and non-Arabs alongside the Arabs.

**7.** تَنَكَّرَ مَعْرُوفًا لَدَى كُلِّ عَـــــــاقِـــلٍ / فَمَا عُرِفَ الْمُخْتَـــــارُ إِلاَّ بِنَفْسِـــهِ

_Tanakkara ma‘rūfan lada kulli ‘āqilin / Fa-mā ‘urifa al-mukhtāru illā binafsihī_

He remains "unknown" even while being the most "well-known" to every person of intellect; for the Chosen One is known only through himself.

**8.** فَمِنَّا أَتَانَا مُرْسَلاً وَهْوَ رَحْمَــــــــةٌ / مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَوْلَى الْخَلْقِ أَعْظِمْ بِخُلْقِــهِ

_Faminna atānā mursalan wa huwa raḥmatun / Mina Allāhi mawlā al-khalqi a‘ẓim bi-khuliqihī_

He came to us from among ourselves as a Messenger and a mercy from Allah, the Master of creation—how magnificent is his character!

**9.** وَزَكَّاهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ وَهْوَ مُبَرِّزٌ / وَقَرَّبَهُ قُرْبًا يُحَالُ لِجِنْسِهِ

_Wa zakkāhu rabbul-‘arshi wa huwa mubarrizun / Wa qarrabahu qurban yuḥālu li-jinsihī_

The Lord of the Throne purified him and made him pre-eminent, drawing him near in a closeness impossible for any of his kind.

**10.** وَمَا وَلَدَ الرَّحْمَانُ فَهْوَ عُبَيْدُهُ / فَجَلَّ إِلَهِي لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ كَمِثْلِهِ

_Wa mā walada al-Raḥmānu fahuwa ‘ubayduhu / Fajalla ilāhī laysa shay’un kamithlihi_

The Most Merciful did not beget him, for he is His little servant; Exalted is my God, there is nothing like unto Him.

**11.** وَلَكِنَّ أَعْلَى الْخَلْقِ فَضْلاً وَرُتْبَةً / مُحَمَّدُ ذَاكَ الْعَبْــــدُ دُونَ مُشَبَّــهِ

_Wa lakinna a‘lā al-khalqi faḍlan wa rutbatan / Muḥammadu dhāka al-‘abdu dūna mushabbah_

Yet the highest of creation in virtue and rank is Muhammad—that servant who is without any peer.

**12.** لِذَا تَامَ قَلْبِي ، قَدْ سَلَوْتُ لِحُبِّـــــهِ / جَمِيعَ أَحِبَّائِي وَذَا دُونَ كَتْمِـــهِ

_Li-dhā tāmu qalbī, qad salawtu li-ḥubbihī / Jamī‘a aḥibbā’ī wa dhā dūna katmihī_

Therefore my heart is enslaved, and for his love I have set aside all other beloveds, and this I do without concealment.

**13.** فَمَا شَاقَ قَلْبِي الْغِيدُ مَا الْغِيدُ بَلْهَهَا / سَرَابٌ لَدَى طَـــــهَ الْأَمِينِ الْمُنَزَّهِ

_Fa-mā shāqa qalbī al-ghīdu mā al-ghīdu balhahā / Sarābun lada Ṭāha al-Amīni al-munazzah_

The fair maidens do not stir my heart—what are they but a mirage compared to the trustworthy, pure Taha?

**14.** تَسَلَّيْتُ عَنْ لَيْلَى وَمَيلَى وَتَنْدَمِ / بِطَــــــــهَ أَمِينِ اللّٰهِ حِبِّي الْمُنَوَّهِ

_Tasallaytu ‘an Laylā wa Maylā wa tandam / Bi-Ṭāha Amīni Allāhi ḥibbī al-munawwah_

I found solace from Layla, Mayla, and my regrets through Taha, the Trustworthy of Allah, my celebrated beloved.

**15.** نَبِيذِي وَخَمْرِي الدَّهْرَ سَرْدُ مَدِيحِهِ / وَذَلِكَ حِصْنِي وَهْوَ جَيْشِي لِنَصْرِهِ

_Nabīdhī wa khamrī al-dahra sardu madīḥihī / Wa dhālika ḥiṣnī wa huwa jayshī li-naṣrihī_

My wine and my intoxicant throughout time is the recitation of his praise; that is my fortress and my army for victory.

**16.** كَفَانِي افْتِخَارًا فِي حَيَاتِي وَبَعْدَهَا / بِأَنَّ نَبِيِّي الْمُصْطَفَى خَيْرُ رُسْلِـــهِ

_Kafānī iftikhāran fī ḥayātī wa ba‘dahā / Bi-anna nabiyyī al-Muṣṭafā khayru rusulihī_

It is enough pride for me in this life and after it that my Prophet is the Chosen One, the best of His messengers.

**17.** وَإِنِّي عُبَيْدُ اللّٰهِ أَتْلُـــــو كِتَابَــــــهُ / وَذَلِكَ فَخْرٌ أَيُّ فَخْـــــرٍ كَعَدْلِــــهِ

_Wa innī ‘ubaydu Allāhi atlu kitābahu / Wa dhālika fakhrun ayyū fakhrin ka-‘adlihi_

And I am a little servant of Allah reciting His Book, and what pride can possibly equal that?

**18.** وَإِنِي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ الْأَخِيرَ زَمَانِهِ / لَأَرْجُو بِشَارَاتِ الْأَمِينِ لِصَحْبِهِ

_Wa innī wa in kuntu al-akhīra zamānihī / La-arjū bi-sharātil-Amīni li-ṣaḥbihī_

And though I may be the last in terms of time, I hope for the glad tidings the Trustworthy one gave to his companions.

**19.** "سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ" "لاَ يَزَالُ" "وَأُمَّتِي" / وَمَا قَالَ فِي عِيسَى سُلُــــوٌّ لِحِزْبِـــــهِ

_"Sayā’tī zamānun" "lā yazālu" "wa ummatī" / Wa mā qāla fī ‘Īsā sulūwwun li-ḥizbihī_

"A time will come," "there will remain," and "my nation"—and what he said regarding Jesus brings comfort to his group.

**20.** فَيَا رَبِّ فَاسْلُكْ بِي وَحِزْبِي صِرَاطَهُ / وَلَوْ كَانَ قَبْضُ الْجَمْرِ فِي قَفْوِ نَهْجِــهِ

_Fa-yā Rabb fa-asluki bī wa ḥizbī ṣirātahū / Wa law kāna qabḍu al-jamri fī qafwi nahjihī_

O Lord, lead me and my group upon his path, even if following his way feels like grasping burning coals.

**21.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ الْحَقِّ فِي كُلِّ لَحْظَــــــــةٍ / مَعَ الْآلِ وَالْأَصْحَابِ وَالْمُقْتَدِي بِــــــهِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu al-ḥaqqi fī kulli laḥẓah / Ma‘a al-āl wa al-aṣḥāb wa al-muqtadī bihi_

Upon him be the prayer of the Truth in every moment, along with the family, the companions, and all who follow him.
